What's a funny physics invention for making a charlie chaplin film?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of creating a humorous Charlie Chaplin film using physics inventions. Participants express skepticism about surpassing Chaplin's comedic genius, with one suggesting that necromancy, while not a physics branch, could be a humorous angle. The conversation highlights the recent development of a template for generating Weaire–Phelan foam, which could serve as a comedic element in a film scenario featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Chaplin/Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson. Additionally, the fascination of physicists with soap bubbles is noted as amusing. The mention of Tesla and the potential use of an electrostatic generator to create comedic effects further emphasizes the blend of science and humor in envisioning a modern Chaplin film.

Any physics invention for making a super catchy and funny charlie chaplin film?

I don't think that necromancy is technically considered a branch of physics, but that's the only way that you could make a Chaplin movie...
 
It won't be easy to make a movie funnier than what Chaplin made.
 
Any good inventions? like boomerang?
 
A template necessary for generating the Weaire–Phelan foam has recently been developed. And the foam has finally been produced. Perhaps this could be incorporated into a Chaplin film involving Robert Downey Jr. as Chaplin/Iron Man taking a bath with Scarlett Johansson. Or just Scarlett Johansson.

Anyway, I find the fact that so many extremely talented physicists are so fascinated by soap bubbles to be somewhat humorous.

Tesla, got to be Tesla. Electrostatic generator to make his hair stand on end, the list is endless. A Chaplin sci fi film classic.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
