Alternative ending:

Two-panel cartoon: a stick figure labeled POSITION pushes against a cylinder labeled MOMENTUM, which sits to the right; in the lower panel the cylinder is knocked over, falling toward a dot on the ground.

- "Please Einstein - when did you realize nothing can travel faster than light?"

- "It was when I trained running 100 m on the sports ground - but the time elapsed was the same however
much I tried doing better!"

Friday funny

Far Side style cartoon: a lecturer with a pointer stands before a whiteboard of equations while seated colleagues listen, one saying about antimatter, dark matter and 'Doesn't Matter' having no effect on the universe.

Four-panel cartoon: a boy sees 'I WANT sex' scrawled on a brick wall, then the wall reads 'I WANT sexdx' and he says 'Everybody forgets about the differential...'

Shamelessly stolen from NDT's Facebook page:

In Chemistry class the cylinders know more than you do because they're already graduated

The thermometers know more than the cylinders though, because they have many degrees.

Well, if you’re not part of the Solution, then you must be part of the Precipitate.

a couple of Friday funnies to end the week ...

Comic-style panel titled "Favourite Science Joke" with a text joke about Schrodinger and Heisenberg being pulled over by a cop, ending with "Well I do now!"

Cartoon of a green alien holding a leash attached to a grey six-wheeled Mars rover with a camera mast; speech bubble reads: he followed me home. his name is rover. Two more green aliens stand beside.

Meme: a bronze statue of an 18th-century man with wide, startled eyes, holding a quill over a writing board, beneath the caption 'when your teacher is about to switch the PowerPoint slide and you're still not finished taking notes'.

RE

The mother is 21 years older than the child.
In 6 years, the mother will be 5 times as old as the child.

Question: Where's the father?

answer:
-9 months . . . think about it

What?

He's implying that the father is currently in bed with the mother.

21 minus 9 months = 20.25
(20.25 + 6) / 5 = 5.25 which means that the baby is currently being conceived.

Handwritten 'proof' on ruled paper: given 1/∞ = 0, prove 1/0 = ∞. Rotate 1/∞ = 0 anticlockwise (90°), giving -18 = 0; add 8 to both sides, giving -10 = 8; rotate -10 = 8 clockwise (90°), giving 1/0 = ∞. Q.E.D.

Two-panel cartoon of two stick figures 5 meters apart. Left panel, t = 0 nanoseconds: a woman says "THIS IS CALLED BELL'S THEOREM. IT WAS FIRST-" Right panel, t = 1 nanosecond: a man says "WOW, FASTER-THAN-LIGHT COMMUNICATION IS POSSIBLE!" Caption: BELL'S SECOND THEOREM: MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF BELL'S THEOREM HAPPEN SO FAST THAT THEY VIOLATE LOCALITY.

What is the contour integral around Western Europe?0 all the poles are in Eastern Europe.

I read a fun section in an interview with Abhay Ashtekar (theoretical physicist):

Interview said:

(Interviewer):
One of them even made a claim that alternative approaches have been incorporated to string theory and, therefore, it’s the only true theory.

(Abhay Ashtekar):
Joe Polchinski, a very prominent string theorist, he did say explicitly that – this was some years ago, at KITP [Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics] Santa Barbara at its 25th anniversary. He said, well, string theory has incorporated everything. String theory is a little like Microsoft because at that time Microsoft was incorporating everything. He said loop quantum gravity was more like Apple. I thought it was a great complement! [Laughs] He explicitly said so. I said somehow I could accept Apple; at least Microsoft wouldn’t gobble us up!

Handwritten 'proof' with the heading PROOF: that derives e^(i·Pi) = -1, then concludes e^(-P) = -1, squares to get e^(-2P) = 1, gives P = 0, and ends with P = NP and QED.

...the adverb virtually is used to modify a property so that it need only hold for a subgroup of finite index. Given a property P, the group G is said to be virtually P if there is a finite index subgroup H≤G such that H has property P...

So, finite groups are virtually trivial. What's the big deal?

mfb · Nov 10, 2015

They are not really trivial!

Cartoon comic titled NAMING STYLES BY SCIENCE with three panels: BIOLOGY shows a woman saying IT'S A TRANS-PARTICULCO-TONITATRIX-ITIONIZER; CHEMISTRY shows a bald man saying IT'S C.3[9-3C R-,12N77 241UM; PHYSICS shows a young man saying A SPLORK!
