Hear ye, hear ye! The gravity of the matter discussed in this article will be unprecedented! The mass of the topic - insurmountable! The velocity of thoughts spinning in your heart after reading - that of light! The shocking, awe-inspiring, and unbelievable topic is *drum roll* - physics jokes! And here you thought that we were going to be discussing how cute cats are… That, of course, is also a case of great mass, but let's leave it for some other time.
So, physics jokes are probably the science jokes that test your smarts the most. To truly understand them, you have to at least know the basic functionalities of our world. For instance, the fact that apples fall down from a tree instead of floating right into the cosmos. Also, it would be good to understand the basic principles of mass, velocity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics, of course. However, even if you're just a physics newbie, we are itching to show you these scientific jokes - we are so sure that you will find them to be a real riot!
Okay, so now it is time for you to gravitate towards the clever jokes we've prepared for you. They are, as per usual, just an atom down below. Once you're there and have checked out the funny jokes, vote for the ones that gave you a massive case of laughs. After all that is done - be sure to share these cool jokes with anyone who will understand their true gravity!

What’s the most terrifying word in nuclear physics?
Oops.
Why is it best to teach physics on the edge of a cliff?
Because that’s where students have the most potential.
Why was Heisenberg’s wife unhappy?
Because whenever he had the energy, he didn’t have the time.
Have you heard of the physicist who got chilled to absolute zero.
He’s 0K now.
Einstein developed a theory about space.
And it was about time too.
A man at a bar tells the bartender, "I'll have some H2O"
The man next to him says, "I'll have some H2O too"

fantastic.. more chemistry than fysics, but still brilliant! Etsy/FutureLondon

A string theorist gets caught cheating on his wife and says, "Wait, I can explain everything."
Do you know why physicists are bad at sex?
Because they can’t find the position when they have momentum and when they find a position, they lose the momentum.
How many general-relativity theoretists does it take to change a light bulb?

1 Fig Newton.
All the physicists meet up in heaven and decide to play a game of hide and seek. They decide that Fermi will be the seeker, so he closes his eyes and begins counting to 100.
All the physicists scatter, except for Newton, who calmly reaches into his pocket, takes out some chalk, and draws a square one metre on a side.
Fermi finishes counting and turns around, seeing Newton standing in his chalk square he yells "I found Newton. Newton is out!"
Newton protests: "No, I'm Newton in a metre square; I'm Pascal. Pascal is out!"
Why can’t you trust an atom?
They make up everything.

Alternate definition: A subatomic particle devoid of taste.

"Hey, I've figured it out. I know where we are."
"Where are we then?"
"Do you see that mountain over there?"
"Yes."
"Well… THAT'S where we are."
A group of wealthy investors wanted to be able to predict the outcome of a horse race. So they hired a group of biologists, a group of statisticians, and a group of physicists. Each group was given a year to research the issue. After one year, the groups all reported to the investors. The biologists said that they could genetically engineer an unbeatable racehorse, but it would take 200 years and $100bn. The statisticians reported next. They said that they could predict the outcome of any race, at a cost of $100m per race, and they would only be right 10% of the time. Finally, the physicists reported that they could also predict the outcome of any race and that their process was cheap and simple. The investors listened eagerly to this proposal. The head physicist reported, "We have made several simplifying assumptions: first, let each horse be a perfect rolling sphere…"

You enter the high school lab and see an experiment. How will you know which class is it?
If it’s green and wiggles, it’s biology.
If it stinks, it’s chemistry.
If it doesn’t work, it’s physics.
Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.
Issac Newton: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest, chickens in motion tend to cross roads.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends on your frame of reference.
Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.
Wolfgang Pauli: There already was a chicken on this side of the road.

Should be U-235 or Pu-239, as U-238 isn’t fissionable, if I recall correctly. Sort of ironic as I have been diagnosed with dementia.
A positron walks into a bar.
The bartender explains they’ve run out of regular alcohol.
The positron replies that it’s no matter.
"I'll have a beer and a bump." The bartender asked, "What'll you have?" A positron walks into a bar.
Sometimes physics can be a real bummer.
I was thinking about gravity yesterday and it really brought me down.
The rocket scientist became a skilled archer. Really, he was just testing arrow dynamics.
A physicist is watching a man who believes he can fly. Every time he goes up the steep hill, he jumps off and hurts himself. The physicist watches this for 7 days. On the 8th day, he goes to the man and says, “I don’t think you understand the gravity of the situation”
