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.

Whenever I see something like this I have to wonder if the actor (Sean Bean in this case) has seen it and what they think about it. I like to think they find it as funny as we do.

Chuck Norris can count real numbers.
Chuck Norris can shave all those and only those who don't shave themselves.
Chuck Norris can prove the Banach-Tarski theorem - by explicit construction.
Chuck Norris can prove his own consistency without being inconsistent.
That Chuck Norris is an extremely paradoxical fellow, isn't he?

Chuck Norris always lies, and can tell you so.

Not really a joke, at least no intended one, but I thought here's the best fit:
CERN's index system in 1983:

Preamble: "borniert" is German for narrow-minded.

There have been three physical institutes around 1930 in Göttingen. Their directors were Robert Pohl, James Franck and Max Born. In order to distinguish the students, someone suggested to call them polished, franked and "borniert". It's reported that Born found it funny, although he got the worst group.

A surgeon, very busy with himself and his specialist literature, one day read in a newspaper at breakfast the headline "Einstein abolishes the ether!" Shaking his head, he put down the paper and mumbled: "A small appendicitis would be enough to convince this gentleman of the necessity and usefulness of the ether."

I was afraid so. Problem is, it is so hard to search in those forums when there is basically no text. Otherwise I would have done.

He should have gotten full credit. The picture starts off with
##\text{If } \lim_{x \to 8} \frac 1 {x - 8} = \infty \dots##
Since this is false, any statement you have in the conclusion (the part after "then") results in an implication that is true.

True. Two sided limit does not exist there. I knew before posting, but then I was like: "Meh. It's just a meme." :smile:
