SUMMARY

This forum discussion centers around a collection of science jokes, particularly those involving mathematics and physics. Notable jokes include a mathematician with a dog and cow discussing knot theory, and a play on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The humor often relies on advanced concepts such as the Jones polynomial and topological invariants, showcasing a blend of wit and scientific terminology. The conversation also touches on the cultural significance of these jokes within the scientific community.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of knot theory and the Jones polynomial

So, fixing a disc error would be back surgery?

I avoid disc compression, it is a pain.

Or simply a sudden break. Did you know that the time you have between "I have to pee" and a stop is directly proportional to the age of the youngest child?

Sounds like a basis for a Shania Twain cover of AC/DC.

Many jokes were made of this:

 
  • #3,048
One day, Einstein has to speak at an important science conference.
On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him:
"I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!"
The driver agrees: "You're right. As your driver, I attended all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place."
"That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's switch places then!"
So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.
But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to respond.
So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question.
The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, waiting for the response.
There is a long palpable pause…
Then driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says:
"𝐒𝐢𝐫, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.”

"Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I'm going to let my driver reply to it for me."

From a class in orbital mechanics:
If you're not a little bit eccentric you're just going in circles.
