I would like to hear some physics jokes. Here’s one on the uncertainty principle. A cop pulls over a car for speeding. The cop tells the driver “Do you know how fast you were going?” The driver replies “Yes, but I don’t know where the hell I am!!!”

I want to deeply understand it on a mathematical level. Unfortunately I’m not quite there yet in school, but looking forward to it makes me feel unconfident. I know the facts, but I don’t “understand them.”

Thank you everyone for your input. I’m probably being too hasty. I need to wait until I have the proper education. I might understand special relativity but I’m not quite sure because I don’t have the proper education, at least not yet. I have a basic understanding on Minkowski diagrams, but...

I hope once I get to the level of relativity I can understand it. I know the facts, but I don’t have the understanding of the math yet.

I’m still in school for physics, but I’m worried I will never deeply understand relativity. Can anyone understand these concepts, or is it something only a few people in the world can understand?

I’m trying to understand the incompleteness theorem and am having a rough time. The only part I understand is that math can’t prove everything. The rest I am having trouble. Can someone explain it to me in simple layman terms?

I love this film, and everyone who is interested in time travel would love it. It’s about HG Wells, who created a Time Machine chases Jack the Ripper in the future, who stole his Time Machine. Great movie. Anyone else like this movie?

I know that a particle or wave (correct me if I’m wrong) is an excitation of underlying quantum fields. Then there’s string theory which says that particles are “strings.” Are these two theories connected in some way?

How do a pair of particles via entanglement “know” what the other particle is doing? Any help is appreciated.

What am I doing wrong?

I’m not at the moment where I can learn GR, I have been teaching myself. But it’s my favorite physics theory. The idea spacetime warps and twists and such is beautiful to me.

Just about everyone who claim to have an iq of 200 are lying or ignorant. I remember this man who claimed to have a 200 iq, “Christopher Langan” but his theories are obviously bull. I’m not even sure if iq is true intelligence. It doesn’t measure creativity and imagination along with other...

A few people around here get annoyed with simple questions like this though.

I thought it made no sense, I just felt I should ask anyway.

I asked her what she meant and she said this “When equations are divisible by 1/2 and your solution is equal to the sum of 4 in most cases 8 is half the sum of 4 squared and 16 is the sum but 12 is 1/2 squared so when 2 is not subtracted or limited to the sum you get 12 every time.”
