Physicists & Swimming: How They Balance Number-Crunching & Exercise

[Blenton]

They're crunching numbers all day, how do they find the time to swim?

 

[lisab]

...hilarious!

 

[Char. Limit]

Well, before swimming, they have to check the fluid density and temperature of the water, make sure that the root-mean-square speed of the molecules, well...

I'll have to conclude no.

They try, but they always observe the water too intensely and collapse the wave function.
I know, that was bad. Sorry!

 

[Char. Limit]

Don't be sorry, I already ran a series of bad jokes.

 

[Chi Meson]

I got one I got one...

wait...wait...

They need to use...wait...

In order to keep from sinking they have to use... hang on...just a minute...

 

[Chi Meson]

It's no problem if they use floating point algorithms!Huh? Yeah? Huh?

 

[zoobyshoe]

There's a story Archimedes took a bath once, but that may be apocryphal, so I don't think we can confidently assume physicists even bathe.

 

[turbo]

First, assume that the body of water is spherical...

No, they don't swim.

 

[mgb_phys]

I remain stationary and the water (and pool) move past me - can't work out why I'm so tired afterward..

 

[Newai]

They either swim... *puts on shades* ...or they don't.

 

[Borg]

They are swimming and not swimming - until you observe them.
