I'm not joking
So, he was a screwball?

They say quantum tunneling only works on atomic particles, I would like to dispute this claim as I have personally experienced macro scale quantum tunneling many times this past year. I have even created a "device" which seems to be able to produce this effect at will, usually at the most inconvenient times. This experimental equipment can be created by anyone and the experiment is easily reproducible and repeatable to easily verify the results.

How is it that no matter well you place a nappy on a baby, their poop always finds a way to "tunnel" through it and onto the babies clothes!

If someone can be so kind as to do the necessary calculations and supply them to me for publishing, a Nobel prize for macro scale tunneling should be on it's way to me in next years awards :)

I have seen quantum tunneling at a macro scale while its happening. Whenever I come back to my car after parking it someplace, I find the car next to me tunneling over the line into my space.

Did Some scientists already have the hair so decided it had to be quantum mechanics as a career?

Lev Landau
Landau doesn't look all that bad. Compare him to his co-author Evgeny Lifschitz who seems
almost completely bald. I've wondered whether that was accelerated by working under Landau.
You know what they say about the classic textbooks of Landau & Lifschitz: "Not a word by Landau, not a thought by Lifschitz. :oldfrown:

Two theoretical physicists are lost at the top of a mountain.

Theoretical physicist No 1 pulls out a map and peruses it for a while. Then he turns to theoretical physicist No 2 and says: "Hey, I've figured it out. I know where we are."
"Where are we then?"
"Do you see that mountain over there?"
"Yes."
"Well… THAT'S where we are."

The two emails are 4 minutes apart. The first email went viral very fast, it seems.
That's a nasty R number or an incredibly short incubation period.

The times shown don't tell you anything about the time elapsed between emails. Just how long it took to take a screenshot.

Yeah, I love that one. I posted it one facebook awhile ago, but I only got ~3 likes. And I suspect those were from people who didn't get it and thought it was a cry for help.
