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.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the Solar System.
One molecule only has two hydrogen atoms. A drop of water contains many more.

It is often wrongly assumed, that the shift theorem also applies to the courier transform.

The two transforms are closely related mathematically.
The courier transform takes the 3D spatial harmonics of the rectangular package, then convolutes the package, to remove high frequency spatial harmonics. If the process is repeated, it will finally approximate a sphere, defined only by the fundamentals in the 3 dimensions.

Did we ... did we resolve this?

There are indeed more hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water than stars in the entire solar system.

If they were extant, you would still not hear them pee, because reptiles and birds do not pee. They have a cloaca, and so produce a paste, not a liquid, as is evidenced by coprolites.
