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 do not understand this:

Is it:
  • a mockery of flat earthers?
  • an example of a chart?
  • a demonstration of derivatives?
  • a counterexample of argumentum a minori ad maius?
  • a counterexample of an induction?
  • a demonstration of the difference between a stable and an unstable equilibrium?
  • a home accident waiting to happen?
  • a lesson about right and wrong tools?
  • a quotation "Realize that everything connects to everything else.” Leonardo da Vinci ?
  • an analogue to the false quotation of "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Sigmund Freud?

Google translate tells me "tempus clepta" means "a thief" in Latin. Maybe you meant to say Telefono movil?

Haha, you actually googled for it :oldbiggrin:. I tried to come up with a latin version of "time thief" (tempus = time, clepta = thief). Which mobile phones often are today.

If you don't mind I'll duck giving you a proper answer.

On a different topic, I just noticed a thread in the forum titled Looking for Good Books on Photosynthesis and I thought, that’s certainly something that worth shedding some light on.

If you consider buying a decent telescope, the only black hole you will find is the new one in your wallet.

Shouldn't there be an integral sign? I.e. ##\int\!e^x##

I have many chemistry puns,
but I’m afraid they won’t get a good reaction
