Ouoooops! time slip ...DrGreg said:You've said that before, in 2029!
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.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, physicists, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of humor and science will benefit from this discussion.

There was only one [geopolitical] variable in the Roman empire: 'Roman Power'. And it was always a 10.mfb said:But what was y?
But how could ##X## be constant if ##V## was 5? A paradox.fresh_42 said:Math was easy in the Roman empire. x was always 10.
Was it a quantum cop?kuruman said:Why were ##p_x## and ##x## cited by the traffic cop?
They were caught driving together in the commuter lane.
##V(t) = DX(t)## but ##t##empus fugit, ergo ##V = DX =## dividere ##X##:DrGreg said:But how could ##X## be constant if ##V## was 5? A paradox.
5 = 510? Another paradox.fresh_42 said:ergo ##V = DX##
That's because these idiots killed Archimedes. No wonder they couldn't differentiate!DrGreg said:5 = 510? Another paradox.
Thus 7 = 10. Another paradox!mfb said:V II = X, if we skip multiplication signs between numbers.
##1\,0## can be any number greater than ##1##.Stavros Kiri said:Thus 7 = 10. Another paradox!
Proof?fresh_42 said:##1\,0## can be any number greater than ##1##.![]()
And if we don't skip multiplication signs ##515 = LXV = L \times V = 50 \times 5 = 250##mfb said:V II = X, if we skip multiplication signs between numbers.
Roman accelerations were also constant:$$a = v \frac {dv}{dx} = 5 \cdot \frac {505}{510} \approx 4.95$$DrGreg said:But how could ##X## be constant if ##V## was 5? A paradox.

##1\;0=1\cdot b^1 + 0 \cdot b^0## and now chose a basis ##b>1## of your choice.Stavros Kiri said:Proof?
Then always 2 = 3 = ... = 10 = etc. , and we don't need Roman power anymore!fresh_42 said:##1\;0=1\cdot b^1 + 0 \cdot b^0## and now chose a basis ##b>1## of your choice.
3 = iii = -i = -1?DrGreg said:And one more: ##2 = ii = i^2 = -1##.

If I would want to invest in your club will I get my interest as black money radiation?DennisN said:I'm thinking about starting a club, The Black Hole Club, anyone want to join?
