Yes, this show has real scientific terms as episode titles. They have always been scientifically bent. Even the name of the series itself, and except for the first episode named Pilot, every other episode title always starts with The and denotes the name of any scientific principle, theory, or experiment, with a clever reference to the plot point in the episode.
Did they have a science advisor?
David Saltzberg was the show's science advisor, who is also a professor of physics and astronomy at UCLA. He helps them with timely science jokes and dialogues. He also does the whiteboards we see in the background. Mayim Bialik who plays Amy has also had timely inputs in terms of dialogue since in real life, she has a Ph.D. in neuroscience herself. The Big Bang Theory has always been a sitcom first, rather than a science show. The writers have always made an effort for the show to be scientifically accurate and also being up to date in physics, but the show is not just about having science-related dialogues, it's much more than that.
What is The Big Bang Theory about?
The Big Bang Theory centers around the physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper who both live in an apartment in Pasadena, them being co-workers and roommates, including their fellow Caltech scientists, neighbors in their building, and romantic partners. Sheldon Cooper is a theoretical physics genius who has trouble with his views in the real world which lands him in problems with others all the time. At the beginning of the series, he holds an incredibly superior view of himself to non-scientists and believes that their intellect must not be compared.
Hofstader on the other hand is a very normal human version compared to Cooper. However, both of them have trouble conversing with women. Throughout the series, Hofstader, Cooper, and their friends - astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali and engineer Howard Wolowitz- live in their own world. Everything changes when Penny is introduced as their neighbor who lives across the hall in their apartment building. The aspiring actress and waitress make friends easily, and her being a non-science person always creates hilarious and chaotic events
