Collection of Science Jokes P2

In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

If you don't mind I'll duck giving you a proper answer.

On a different topic, I just noticed a thread in the forum titled Looking for Good Books on Photosynthesis and I thought, that’s certainly something that worth shedding some light on.

Thanks for the link! When it comes to that topic, I'm a little green.

Technically it should go to the Electrical Engineering forum.

If you consider buying a decent telescope, the only black hole you will find is the new one in your wallet.

Edit: (I found a picture on the topic)

..so that he will be increasing the dosage? (if we forget about the intended derivative joke)

Shouldn't there be an integral sign? I.e. ##\int\!e^x##

Application of the Great Unification Theory above to quantum mechanics. The probability current in quantum mechanics for a particle moving in one dimension is
$$j=\frac{\hbar}{2mi} \left( \psi^*\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x}-\psi\frac{\partial\psi^*}{\partial x} \right)$$
Using the unification formula above, the current can be written in the electric engineering form
$$i=\frac{\hbar}{2mj} \left( \psi^*\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x}-\psi\frac{\partial\psi^*}{\partial x} \right)$$
 
  • #1,119
Write it as $$i=\frac{\hbar}{2mi} \left( \psi^*\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x}-\psi\frac{\partial\psi^*}{\partial x} \right)$$ and simplify: $$-1=\frac{\hbar}{2m} \left( \psi^*\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x}-\psi\frac{\partial\psi^*}{\partial x} \right)$$

The left-hand side is real and the right-hand side is imaginary, which is only possible if both sides are zero. Hence the wave function is real (which is compatible with the PBR theorem) and ##-1=0## (which makes sense because one cannot have less than zero particles).
