That evening, Sheldon had filled his first whiteboard. By the end of week two, the second whiteboard was covered in differential equations that even his mentor, Dr. John Sturgis, would call “ambitious.” By week three, Sheldon believed he’d found a mathematical shortcut to detect gravitational anomalies without a laser interferometer—just pure math.

Sheldon sat on his bed, staring at the AMR equations. Newton the salamander flicked his tongue.
A pause. Then Sturgis’s calm voice: “Sheldon, that’s… extraordinary. I’ll call you back.” The phone rang. Sheldon grabbed it.
