Heisenberg : uncertainty principle

  • Heisenberg is out for a drive when he's stopped by a traffic cop.
    The cop says, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
    Heisenberg says, "No, but I know where I am."
  • You've perhaps seen or heard of old inns that have plaques on the wall of a room saying, for example: "George Washington slept here."
    Well, There's apparently an inn in Germany with their own plaque.
    It says: "Heisenberg may have slept here."


Werner_HeisenbergWerner Karl Heisenberg was born on 5th December, 1901, at Würzburg. One of the founders of quantum mechanics, and become famous with his uncertainty principle :

"The more precisely the POSITION is determined,
the less precisely the MOMENTUM is known"

Both jokes are funny but I really love the first one! I wonder how many people would get it, if I told that joke in the staffroom tomorrow....

These are all-right, but you should look online for the longer lists of science jokes. Truthfully, I just commented so it would say "2 people laughing", instead of "1 people laughing". Also, disregard the Anonymous that commented on May 13, 2008. No sense of humor.

@ Anonymous - These jokes are only funny if you understand Heisenberg's uncertainty principle ;)

The more certain we are of the joke's humour, the less certaintly we can say that it is humorous.
