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 found this: when a woman and a man make love, the woman gets excited. She is now metastable and decays to her normal state through "baby emission" with a mean lifetime of roughly nine months.

Okay "I got one". Heisenberg gets pulled over for speeding and the officer asks, do you know how fast you were going? no replies Heisenberg but I knew exactly where I was.

That's the short version of this one ...

Theorem: The hyperbolic partial differential equation of waves has a solution.
Proof: Let us first introduce the standard short-hand notation for the d'Alembert operator
$$\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial z^2} \equiv \Box$$

This isn't quite as daft as it sounds, if you replace "all his body functions" with "his heart". That's what a defibrillator does: the device that you see in medical dramas applying an electric shock across someone's chest to revive them. The shock doesn't restart a stopped heart, as is often implied by the drama; it stops a misfiring heart, and then the stopped heart automatically reboots.

This doesn't make sense for a Ph.D. The original joke was "Why God never got tenure."
