Pasadena November 2024. Professor Sheldon Cooper was in his office at Caltech when he got a phone call.
Sheldon: "Hello, this is is Professor Cooper."
Karlsson "Hello Professor Cooper, this is Professor Olaf Karlsson calling from Stockholm."
Sheldon "How are you Professor?"
Karlsson "I am fine, I hope that you are sitting down, I have some rather good news. I am calling on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. You have won a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics for your work on space-time and supercooled fluids. The news has just been released to the media."
Sheldon "At last, I have been waiting for this moment since I was 10 years old! Thank you Professor. Wait a minute, you said I have a share of the Nobel Prize. Who am I sharing with?"
Professor Karlsson told him.
Sheldon "Oh really" and put the phone down.

After the phone call from Stockholm Sheldon roamed the corridors of Caltech muttering "he's not in his office, where is he?"
Suddenly Amy came running up to him and gave him a big hug.
Sheldon "Unhand me woman, I am in no mood to celebrate."
Amy "I don't understand, I just heard that you won the Nobel Prize?"
Sheldon "Leave me alone, I need to find him" and Sheldon ran off.
A few minutes later Sheldon, closely followed by a very concerned Amy, burst into the Caltech canteen. A party appeared to be in full swing. Leonard was centre of attention and was sat with Raj and Howard. Half of Caltech seemed to be with him; Kripke, Gablehauser, Leslie Winkle, Bert Kibbler and many more.
Leonard "Hey buddy, there you are. Congratulations to us, we won the Nobel Prize."
Sheldon "You stole half my prize Professor Hofstadter!"
Leonard "I didn't steal anything, the Swedish Academy awarded the prize to both of us on our Superfluid work. As you no doubt recall I had the initial idea and you helped with the mathematical side and wrote a paper with our names on."
Sheldon "You had a lucky guess and I did the real work, that Nobel Prize should be all mine. I demand that you decline your half and let the rightful person have the whole prize."
Amy "Sheldon, what are you saying?"
Sheldon "Amy, take me home NOW!"
