Episode Name: The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification
Preview:
Sheldon’s estimate for his life expectancy leads him to the conclusion that he will miss by only a few years “the singularity … when man will be able to transfer his consciousness into machines, and achieve immortality”. He therefore changes his diet to eat cruciferous vegetables and starts to exercise in hopes of extending his life expectancy. Since the diet of brussels sprout gives him a bad case of flatulence, and he tumbles on the stairs going down for a jog, Sheldon decides on an alternate plan to extend his life expectancy. Sheldon builds a robotic replication of himself which he calls a “Mobile Virtual Presence Device” (the telepresence robot by Willow Garage ) that would go through all the hazards of life that Sheldon would otherwise have to endure, while he stays behind in a “secure, undisclosed location” (his bedroom).
