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 don't believe the cat wrote that. They have trouble with algebra because they always call all the unknowns ##\mu##.

Newton, Einstein and Hawking walk into the bar. The bartender says - Is it a joke?

But do they transform themselves to stay current?

...actually, it would seem not:

Looks like a transformation to me. Not enough to avoid hair losses, however.

Curelius should be more of an orangey colour. I guess it's patinated.

If they don't ground him, he'll end up charged with something. Battery, probably.

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor, whose head I presume it is on the coins. Au, Ag, and Cu are chemical elements.

Reminds me of a true life hack at CERN circa 1990's.

Early morning meet at SRI International STAR Lab clustered around my workstation. An alert from CERN pops up. With data security the topic I click on the "bulletin" revealing a series of gaping orifices, not unlike the attachment though human. CERN had been hacked in revenge for some perceived Internet slight.

In retrospect I handled the situation with aplomb but actually I only remember the hack, not the reactions of my workmates.
