Physics Limericks: Join the Fun!

In summary, a person shares a link to a website with physics-themed limericks and invites others to join in and write their own. The person then shares a limerick they wrote in the past about Newton and gravity, and another about a pole vaulter and the lorentzian contraction.

A few days ago I found this link:

http://www.physics.harvard.edu/academics/undergrad/limericks.html

They're kinda fun :D. So I thought, since I'm having a oh-so-boring lesson, what about trying? And I wrote this:

Said Albert, "This quantum device
can't work, God's not playing dice!"
But Old Man, back then,
was raising His hand,
and angrily screaming "Snake eyes!"

Wanna join in? Who's next XD?

Here's one I wrote for a limerick thread a couple years back:


When Newton observed a red fruit
Smash apart on the ground near his boot,
He looked at the moon,
And he started to swoon,
Cause if that fell then he would be moot.

Inspired by this thread:

A pole vaulter was deep in a funk,
Because every jump he would flunk
The lorentzian contraction
Gave his pole a subtraction
when faster he ran he was shrunk.
 

1. What is a physics limerick?

A physics limerick is a humorous poem that follows the limerick structure (five lines with a specific rhyme pattern) and incorporates elements of physics, such as scientific theories, concepts, or formulas.

2. Why are physics limericks popular among scientists?

Physics limericks are popular among scientists because they provide a fun and creative outlet for expressing their love and knowledge of physics. They also serve as a way to connect with others who share the same interest.

3. Can anyone write a physics limerick?

Yes, anyone can write a physics limerick! You don't have to be a scientist or expert in physics to come up with a clever and entertaining limerick. All you need is a basic understanding of physics and a bit of creativity.

4. Are physics limericks educational?

Yes, physics limericks can be educational! While they are primarily meant for entertainment, they often contain scientific concepts and terminology that can help people learn and remember physics in a fun and engaging way.

5. How can I participate in the "Physics Limericks: Join the Fun!" project?

To participate in the project, simply visit the designated website or social media page and submit your physics limerick. You can also join the community by reading and sharing limericks from other contributors.
