Try holding your device perpendicular to you.Ibix said:That's really difficult to look at. It's so clearly a spiral, even once you've worked out it isn't.
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.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, physicists, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of humor and science will benefit from this discussion.

There used to be a whole list of these somewhere. It included stuff like "An object in motion will remain in motion at constant velocity until instantaneously retarded by a sufficiently massive object - typically an anvil".davenn said:

a) Good luck in solving differential equations that way! ...Psinter said:

Genius, whoever made this.
It is stated in the source that the original is in Danish, and that there was a mistranslation. It's octopus, not squid. Still, I laughed when they pointed it out in the comments.
