The family erupted in cheers, the sound resonating through the house in a richness that only a 2160p audio system could truly capture. That night, as the Cooper family gathered around the television—now tuned to a documentary about the formation of galaxies—Sheldon sat beside his mother, his head resting on her shoulder.
