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 know how true this is but pretty strange if it is.

Better yet, you can eat two or three or as many pis that you want and the sin would still be zero.

##\sin(\pi e) \approx 0.774##
##\sin \frac{3 \pi}{2} = -1##.

If you and your girlfriend split three pies, that should leave you with a free sin to spend somehow.

Dealing with geometric algebra++. (No more pseudovectors.)

GA is catching on in computer graphics as easier to work with than the dual of quaternions.

@Hornbein, taking GA to mean geometric algebra, maybe working with voxels is GA enough for 3D computer graphics.

Personally, I'm more than a little alarmed about the Omicron infection function's apparent ability to travel backward in time...

Why are you alarmed? If the infection has the ability to travel backward in time, then the worst has already happened.

If evolution is true, why don't we see animals change into other animals right away?

They do. Here we see a cat instantly change into a giant vicious bear killer.

I recently heard about a novel in which Shrodinger's cat and Pavlov's dog team up for a cross-country adventure. So I headed on down to the library to see if they had a copy.

The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn't sure if it was there or not.
