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
- Explore the concept of knot theory in mathematics
- Learn about the Jones polynomial and its applications
- Study Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics

God to his son:
"Hey Jesus, wanna see a cool reaction using quantum fluctuation?"
Less than a Planck second later:
"Oh damn, it says spontaneous reactions are not reversible".
bonus joke:
Electron says: "Hurry up we have no time!"
"Tell me about it"...said the Tau.

I wonder if those kids will tell you that the plural of "butt" does not need an apostrophe.

The way I see things heading - nobody will be concerned with correct spelling in 20 years.strangerep said:I wonder if those kids will tell you that the plural of "butt" does not need an apostrophe.

I can not express how relieved I was when writing my thesis (in the 1980s) and I got a PC with a spell checker.
Now I don't have to worry about spelling things.

When people say that phylogeny (evolutionart history) is tree-like, this is the kind of tree I think of sometimes:

I have a statistics joke but it's not significant
I have a fraction joke but 7/5 persons won't get it
I have a chemistry joke, but still in reaction
i have a biology joke, but it is not fully developed
I have a thermodynamics joke, but i'm out of energy
I have a tensor joke but it is not invariant
I'll get my coat......
