Best Physics Jokes

31. A physicist, an engineer, and a statistician go on a hunting trip, they are walking through the woods when they spot a deer in a clearing. The physicist calculates the distance of the target, the velocity and drop of the bullet, adjusts his rifle and fires, missing the deer 5 feet to the left. The engineer rolls his eyes. ‘You forgot to account for wind. Give it here’, he snatches the rifle, licks his finger and estimates the speed and direction of the wind and fires, missing the deer 5 feet to the right. Suddenly, the statistician claps his hands and yells “We got him!”

32. An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are staying in a hotel.

The engineer wakes up and smells smoke. He goes out into the hallway and sees a fire, so he fills a trashcan from his room with water and douses the fire. He goes back to bed.

Later, the physicist wakes up and smells smoke. He opens his door and sees a fire in the hallway. He walks down the hall to a fire hose and after calculating the flame velocity, distance, water pressure, trajectory, etc. extinguishes the fire with the minimum amount of water and energy needed.

Later, the mathematician wakes up and smells smoke. He goes to the hall, sees the fire and then the fire hose. He thinks for a moment and then exclaims, “Ah, a solution exists!” and then goes back to bed.

33. An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are asked to hammer a nail into a wall.

The engineer goes first. He pulls out a hammer and drives the nail in with one clean, measured stroke.

The physicist is next. She pulls out a hammer and calculator, measures the length, weight, and thickness of the nail, the density and hardness of the wood, and diligently makes some calculations. When her work is done she pulls back the hammer and gently taps the nail in with one precise blow.

Finally the mathematician picks up the hammer, swings with vigorous abandon, and manages to slam both thumb and finger while completely missing the nail. When he regains his composure, he stares at the wall for a moment. “A solution exists,” he finally proclaims, and walks out contentedly.

34. A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician are sitting outside a café when two people walk inside. A few minutes later, three people walk out.

The biologist says, “They must have reproduced.”

The physicist says, “There must have been a measurement error.”

The mathematician says, “If one more person walks in, then the café will be empty again.”

35. A physicist and an engineer are sitting at a table drinking when a very beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the bar.

The physicist sighs. “I’d like to talk to her, but first I have to cover half the distance between where we are and where she is, then half of the distance that remains, then half of that distance, and so on. The series is infinite. There’ll always be some finite distance between us.”

The engineer gets up and starts walking. “Ah, well, I figure I can get close enough for all practical purposes.”
