Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works but no one knows why.
In our lab, theory and practice are combined:

Now you've opened that door...fresh_42 said:There are two types of physicists: mathematicians and blacksmiths.

I thought there were 10 types - those that understand ternary, those that don't, and those that thought this was going to be a joke about binary.DrGreg said:There are 10 types of mathematicians: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
(Which caused somebody upthread to comment that he thought he saw an inductive proof that there are infinitely many jokes of this form, and that life would never be dull...)

Yes the door is opened,
As they were discussing, the binary-ist and the ternary-ist agreed to disagree if 10 was company or a crowd.
