An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a pint of beer,
the second one orders half a pint of beer,
the third one orders a quarter pint of beer,
the bartender puts two pints of beer on the bar and says, "You're all idiots."

So Heisenberg is speeding down the freeway, and a cop pulls him over.
The cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going back there?"
Heisenberg replies, "I don't know how fast I was going, but I knew exactly where I was."

A tachyon walks into a bar.

The bartender says, "We don't allow faster than light particles here!"

well, history hasn't lasted for more than about 3000 years, but we still know some scientists and mathematicians from back then:
Pythagoras
Euclid
Archimedes
etc.

I'm looking for a joke that I heard quite a long time ago. It has to do with physics, and the punchline is:
"I don't know."
I think one of the characters was Steven Hawking.
I'm fairly sure it has to do with the uncertainty principle, but it isn't the one with the cop and Heisenberg speeding.

Thanks in advance.

Also, jokes.

with you until the last line:
>A sufficiently advanced species with the capability to traverse vast interstellar distances should at least know how to hack.

There is no reason to believe that ability in one field translates to another field.

Just my 3 cents

did you miss the part about the ice age?
or what?

My first guess is that it's the brain dumping iron.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though, and should be very easy to test. (more in older subjects, etc.)
Second guess is... WTF?

Good job.
Also, it only happened at the same time as a major ecological shift.
There is no direct evidence that humans did it.

not to be a downer, but cancer often takes a while to develop.
I'm a grand proponent of nuclear power, but these things take time.

things like this remind me why i love this place.

also, if the kernel is trivial, it's trivial (to solve).

sig figs are an artifact of poor high school science eduation.
9 is "more significant" than 1

what you really need to look at is the logarithmic "length" of the number.

but that isn't what your teacher wants.
Different teachers want different answers.
I would answer (for my teacher) like this:

-9047/.9
10000

when adding/subtracting, you loose all but the most significant digit of the least significant number
when dividing, you use the lowest total number of digits.

take a derivative, find the zeros of the resulting quadratic. these will be your mins and maxes.

7/10 Not bad.

Random ones I don't actually have any idea about:
Chain moneys and random village.

Ones I got wrong:
Turtles. Fucking turtles, man.

afik, we have more of "our" genes then "their" genes. So we mostly killed them off. Something like <5% of their genes are left in our population.

these.

Humans are good at war. Because we're good at war, we won. If anything were to try and take our place from earth, we'd destroy them before they became a threat. From off earth, we know less about the possibilities.

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say yes. Unless the astronomers got their shit wrong, but that doesn't seem likely, since they went ahead and published results.

Because skin is a lot thicker than your lung's membranes. Also, this:

1980 first time
2200 second time
no studying for either time.
PoS test, doesn't matter once you graduate and go to college.

Oh. I was thinking bigger than moon/mars. I somehow doubt either of those will be the <rainbows> FUTURE </rainbows>

Astroid belt is probably our first stop on our extrasolar journey.
