★ A Breath of Life

Haha.. these were pretty good, made me laugh, so I thought I’d share them

The unusual nature of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, and its distinctive name, has made it the source of several jokes.

It is said that a popular item of graffiti at the physics department of university campuses is the slogan “Heisenberg may have been here.”

In another uncertainty principle joke, a quantum physicist is stopped on the highway by a police officer who asks “Do you know how fast you were going, sir?”, to which the physicist responds, “No, but I know exactly where I am!”.

“How many Physicists does it take to change a light bulb?” “Only one, and all the Physicist has to do is observe the light bulb and he changes it.”

The biggest flop since the Edsel… The Heisenbergmobile. The problem was that when you look at the speedometer you got lost.

This may be apocrophal; in the UK a physics grad has escaped a speeding fine, claiming that the HUP prohibited the court from proving the speed at which he was travelling and that he was there at the time!

hahaha.. in case you didn’t get those, Heisenberg made the uncertainty principal which basically says that because we measure objects by observation, it is impossible to measure an objects position and momentum at the same time. If you measure position exactly, you will disturb momentum and if you measure momentum exactl, you will disturb position- even light particles will disturb an objects motion.
