- TriviaSheldon is watching Saul Perlmutter receiving his Nobel Prize live on television. The episode was indeed broadcast on 8th December 2011, the same day that Perlmutter did receive the Nobel Prize.
The actual award ceremony is always held on December 10th.
- GoofsThe presentations of the Nobel Prizes, except the Prize for Peace, are held at late afternoon in Stockholm, Sweden. Pasadena, in the Pacific time zone, has a nine-hour time difference from Central European Time. As such, the presentation ceremony would occur around breakfast time in California, not in the middle of the night.

- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #369 He was under no illusion that his brain was doing anything other than providing him with illusion. Needless to say, this created a bit of a quandary. If your understanding of your environment is based on a funhouse mirror reflection of what's really going on, then every single thought has to be viewed with suspicion. Which created yet another quandary - paralysis by analysis. What, if any, is the appropriate action one takes in response to a constant flow of cerebral misinformation? Of course there was always the option to move through the world with great certainty, pretending that his consciousness was hardwired into the absolute truth of existence. The obvious downside in that would be talking and behaving like a presidential candidate. After some time to inaccurately reflect, he devised a scientific solution that he hoped would ease not only his own suffering, but the suffering of all mankind. He called it Apologetics(TM). The basis for his amazing breakthrough can be seen below in what millions of Apologists around the world call The Mea Culpa Triangle.
