When a clown threw a pie at another clown's face, both clowns vanished. Why?

They had a face difference of one pie.

On edit
Additional hint, if needed.
What is the minimum phase (not face) difference for destructive interference of two waves?

I have no idea what that is or means. I did look at the spoiler message.

"They had a face phase difference of one pie ##\pi\,##."
So when added together they canceled out each other.

This probably would have landed better in the lame math jokes thread. :wink:

How do you tell the difference between a physicist and a trade-union leader?

Ask them to pronounce "unionized".

Ask them to derive Newton's form of his law of gravity from Poisson's equation.

I think it could have gone both ways. Interference (destructive interference in this case) is a big thing in physics (interferometry, beam forming, double slit experiment, just to name a few).

@kuruman is doing a ~1 per day lame joke from an old (11 year old) list of physics jokes he dug up.

You would mean "semidirector"? Riddle would seem to work better if question were "what do you call a music/or orchestra/ or band conductor who works only half-time"?

Just my figuring while not being sure of the difference between a conductor and a director.

What Mexican dish is prepared most efficiently?

Chili con Carnot.
The actual dish is chili con carne. The Carnot cycle is the most efficient way to do work (cook) as heat is transferred from a high temperature reservoir (stove) to a cold temperature reservoir (chili).

And ice cream makes me fat - which makes me unhappy. So Schrödinger's cows are different from his cat because once I eat the ice cream, I am both happy and unhappy at the same time.
