•Aside from Sheldon being relatively more proficient in German than previously revealed, and a student abroad, instead of a fifteen-year-old visiting professor at the University of Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Physics (TBBT:S1E11), this German arc (YS:S6E19-22, S7E01-02) highlights another retroactive continuity divergence. Sheldon should already know string theory, because a bully chased him through the school library and he hit him over the head with the biggest book he could find (TBBT:S7E20). He should be familiar with pre-requisite differential geometry, including Calabi-Yau manifolds and anti-de Sitter space.
•Sheldon's "dummkopf" status here is diametrically opposed to his know-it-all characterization in The Big Bang Theory, particularly well-represented in S8E2: "The Junior Professor Solution." He is merely a subject to be surpassed at every turn when encountering a fellow physics colleague, despite being a premier theoretical physicist rarely met by a peer of comparable stature (such as Barry Kripke and Elizabeth Plimpton) as an adult. It is like a "Bizarro" universe Sheldon, characterized by an inferiority complex and a shell of his beautiful mind. (Refer to Paige Swanson.)
