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
  • Familiarity with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
  • Basic knowledge of topology and topological invariants
  • Awareness of mathematical humor and its conventions
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the concept of knot theory in mathematics
  • Learn about the Jones polynomial and its applications
  • Study Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics
  • Investigate the role of humor in scientific communication
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of humor and science will benefit from this discussion.

I like the "wind" blowing his mouth ! ...
Is it "warp wind"?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

Looks more like 0.9 cats.

If you think non-integer cat numbers are weird, consider this video. We clearly start with a cat number of 1 and end with a cat number of 0. But would you say the number jumps from 1 to 0 in between? No, continuous cat numbers make much more sense.

Unless they are ##Schr\ddot{o}dinger's## cats.

So there's digital and analog "cat system"?

ohhh ok ... My 98 SE version was very stable, only to be outdone by my current Win7 Pro

Not all versions of Windows are created equal :rolleyes::wink:

#58: Write-Only Memory
April 1, 1973: The Signetics corporation issued a press release announcing their invention of a revolutionary new electronic memory that promised to "improve the quality of life for billions of people who are affected by computer data." As opposed to the common "write-and-read" or "read-only" memories (ROM), they had perfected Fully-Encoded 9046XN 25120 Write-Only Memory (aka WOM). Data could be written to the device, but never read back, thus ensuring Eternally Inaccessible Storage (EIS).

You're lucky! I had to deal with FFT!
Me too... as a matter of fact I'm a big fan of Fourier Transformation/FFT, very useful in many places, e.g. when programming/processing audio stuff. Here's a nice, free Android app (realtime audio spectrum analysis) I discovered some days ago: Spectroid.

Is it true that "good" (+) and "~bad" (-) Windows main versions almost alternate? (by coincidence, naturaly or on purpose?)

I switched from Mac to Windows almost after XP. Here we go: (you guys do the "before Wind. XP"...)
XP: +
Vista: -
7: +
8: - (although I liked it! ...)
8.1: +
9: Non-existent! , thus "-" [although that can get us into a "philosophical" debate here ...]
10: +

Anyone cares to complete the chart by doing the before? Does it work?
[Use common acceptence (stat./ly) - not personal views ...]
