Professor Salzman

Professor Salzman is a physicist at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 1995, wherein he overseess the summer program on superstring theory. As a student of this blunt colleague of Dr. SturgisYoung Sheldon, Season 6, Episode 19: A New Weather Girl and a Stay-at-Home Coddler, Sheldon quickly finds out that Germans are not the warm, fun-loving people he was led to believe.
He designates Sheldon by the demeaning appellation dummkopf (meaning "stupid head" in German), prompted by his lack of knowledge regarding Calabi-Yau manifolds. Sheldon's lagging level of understanding of differential geometry is further illustrated when he is revealed to be unfamiliar with anti-de Sitter spaces by Salzman's newly appointed girl tutor, Mei-Tung, a fellow prodigy in his class who the professor knows to have an undergraduate background in education. Salzman condescendingly states that Sheldon's alma mater is charming, belying his true sentiment that it is not prestigious: "There is no East MIT." He asserts that this is rather unlike the academic institutions of his other classmates (by far, not his peers), which are among the most elite in the world. Further, with a colorful analogue, he merits that, at some point, we must inquire of the "piano-playing dog," not is he a dog, but whether he is any good at playing the piano.
