Ill keep it simple for you: Who cares that Edison supposedly invented the light bulb?
He was a bully and a publicity hog.
If youre interested in fanboying a true scientist, try Nikola Tesla.

He has a car named after him AND he invented the electrical grid.
Unfortunately, he cant make it.
The reason is classified and top secret.
Howard and Leonard call Williams to get to the bottom of this disappointing news.
The guys march straight to Sheldon and Amys place, ready to throw down with their former partner.
They demand to know why Sheldon would work with the government behind their backs.
Sheldon doesnt understand the firing of emotions.
He had an idea, he presented it, and the military agreed to implement.
Whats the big deal?
Howard and Leonard have zero patience for Sheldon.
So they call him the worst name in the book.
Hes acting like an Edison.
Sheldon blames his mom for his current situation.
Caring too much about peoples feelings has always been his fatal flaw.
Instead, Leonard comes up with a way to make Sheldons communications idea even more efficient!
Theres just one problem.
With Sheldon voted off the island, who is going to do the math?
Oh, how Ive missed John Ross Bowie!
He falls on his sword, heads to the cafeteria, and congratulates Leonard and Howard.
All simultaneously turn their heads toward the guy at the next table.
Or should I say the new Edison.
