Do you Understand?

[Polaris19]

Huh?

Sorry didn't get it...

 

[Hyper-space]

It's Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Not funny, it's just XKCD humor built around feeling superior to those who can't understand it without being witty.

I am not that big on science, but even i thought of the uncertainty principle at first.

All thanks to Illustrated Science.

 

[Casual Shinji]

HAHAHA... Sweden's funny.

...........................

...What, that's not the joke?

 

[smithy_2045]

Thats not even a joke and I took physics and past it.

And failed English.

An example of what the OP wants from the thread:

Descartes walks into a bar, the barman asks him if he wants a drink. Descartes responds "I think not" and promptly disappears.


Specialist jokes that you realise really aren't that funny even to the people who understand them.

 

[Kevonovitch]

honestly, even as science geek and such humour goes, that was bad man :/ just, XD BOOOO! XD

No i dont get it but nice avatar, i guess you want to go se Disturbed in concert then.

Got tickets for the rear floor, it will be awesome to see them in concert

The only nerdy joke I ever genuinely laughed at is this image:

That's...confusing. Not a physicist though.

Sounds like you'd appreciate the old 'Heisenberg driving' joke. You're bound to have heard it before:

'Professor Heisenberg is driving down a motorway when a policeman pulls him over. The policeman wanders over and asks him "do you know how fast you were going sir?"
"No" says professor Heisenberg, "but I can tell you exactly where I was."'

That ones actually funny.

OP Quantum mechanics was my favorite class in college. We got better science/ math jokes we can use.

I have made a, admittedly, nerdy science joke which gets a dichotomy of reception. It goes as follows:

"A Physicist is drving down the Eastlink (Highway in Australia) he looks down to check his speedo. When he looks back up he's in Sweden"

This joke is based on a scientific concept, and I know that it is very sad that I find it so funny.

My main question is, do you guys get it? Find it funny? And have any jokes like it?

Firstly, it would appear you have stolen my avatar =O

Secondly, I understand the joke but as has been said several times now, it is unfortunately not funny in the slightest.

The joke is that he was wearing a speedo, clearly. See, it would make sense in Australia, cause he'd be goin to the beach, but just wearin' a speedo in Sweden...let's just say that the next time he checks it, it won't appear as full.

No I don't get it, having looked at your name though, I have an incling.

Inkling.

Anyway...

Quite.

Thanks for picking it up.

...I got a joke:

"A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a software engineer are taking a road trip together when suddenly their car breaks down. "It must be the transmission!" The mechanical engineer says. "I'll have it fixed in no time!" The electrical engineer says, "No, no, it must be the battery. I can get it sorted out no problem." The software engineer says, "You're both wrong. We just have to close all the windows, get out of the car, get back in, and restart it."

...

I thought it was funny.

I'm gonna say that's Heisenberg, am I right?

Or is it actually funny?


Also, the one above made me smirk.

Don't get it.
