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.

It is easily possible to explain dark matter and dark energy. I have discovered a truly marvelous theory of this, which this room is too dark to write down.

Is this your last theorem, Mr. Freshmat? :oldbiggrin:

the Schrodinger equation did me bad! I went into it thinking its probably beautiful and elegant as it describes the fundamental nature of reality. I couldn't have been more wrong! solving the eqn for a measly H-atom makes me cri:cry::cry:

Simple!

Where
E = dark energy
m = mass of dark matter

Wouldn't you have to replace that with the speed of dark? :oldtongue:

That's just - C. The squared value is still a positive.

Easy Peasy

I don't know what all the fuss has been.

Today I was walking through a doorway so slowly that I started to diffract. Scared the heck out of me!

And the room you were walking into had two tall, narrow windows?

...which does beg the brain teaser question, can you pass through a doorway so slowly [de Broglie Wavelength] that you diffract? What happens, or why not?

Too many distractions (too much interaction with the environment) to walk through a doorway coherently.

Such as...?

There is one thing that ensures no one can run the experiment and get results even under ideal [Perfect] conditions.

Radiation in both directions, electromagnetic fields from the human, collisions with gas molecules even in the best vacuum we could make. Probably even gravitational interactions at that level.

Motion due to temperature is one problem.

But all that aside, even if we run it at near absolute zero in deep space while heavily shielded by a structure imposing zero net gravity, there is still a reason not mentioned as to why the experiment would not yield useful results...
 
  • #2,436
A human at absolute zero is dead, and I don't think you can create a condition where there is no gravitational influence leading to decoherence.

It still works if you're dead. And if what you say about gravity is true, then how could any deBroglie wavelength experiment work?

But that aside, how long would it take to run the experiment? If the door is about 1 meter wide, then the frozen human body needs to have a wavelength of about 1 meter. Assuming a mass of 100 Kg... given the required velocity, IIRC the universe isn't old enough to have run the experiment.

I wondered about that.

The experiments are done with much lighter objects.

Compared to the other obstacles I think this is a minor concern.

Cool. Let me see the proof.

You know the really great thing about not drinking booze?

Not drinking booze.

I quit on my 21st birthday.

What little I drank, I am reducing even more. Not only does it give me murderous heartburn - which means I don't sleep, but - as the only driver in my fam - it can wreak havoc on evening plans. It's just too much of a hassle.
