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.

Homework Statement


It takes George 45 minutes to install a bollard in the street but it only takes Alex 30 minutes to do the same task. They work together as a team. If George and Alex install 7 bollards in 2 1/2 hours how are they going to get home?

Homework Equations


R = G-W
Where R is distance remaining,
G is the width of the gap, and
W is the width of the vehicle.

The Attempt at a Solution


I reckon they’ll be taking the bus.

The post gets the spin assignments wrong. You need a rotation by 360 degrees divided by the spin. 720 degrees for spin 1/2 (USB in the joke), 360 for spin 1 (USB as it should be) and 180 for spin 2 (USB-c).

For Sale. Baby Rudin. Never read.
I did not get this joke when I read it just now, so I googled and saw it was a math book.
And I found a very funny review of the book: Hilarious review of Baby Rudin on Amazon.
Review said:
Finally, some people complain about the level of abstraction, which let me just say is not that high. If you want to see abstraction grab a copy of Spanier's 'Algebraic Topology' and stare at it for about an hour. Then open 'Baby Rudin' up again. I promise you the feeling you get when you sit in a hottub for like twenty minutes and then jump back in the pool. Invigorating.

It sounds like some version of the Copenhagen interpretation of QM. :wink:

Messieurs, précision, s.v.p.! The joke says the center and as there is none, it remains true.
It might be a philosophical topic: with people, there is a significant difference between observable and observed universe. Normally, things don't exist for people until observed. So clearly a QM interpretation, but is it really Copenhagen? I think it's more Quantum Bayesianism.

I thought it was going to be:
Does your dog bite?
No.
Going to pet... Ouch!. He bit me.
I thought you said your dog doesn't bite.
Right. That's not my dog!
:biggrin:
To make this a science joke...
Seek medical attention immediately!

There is the center of your observable universe, and this center is you. This has nothing to do with quantum mechanics.
