Quantum physics: We make no sense, yet sense of all in the world.
Even if we didn’t all major in science, most of us can appreciate a good science joke. You don’t have to be a physicist to chuckle at a clever pun about gravity or a biologist to enjoy a joke about evolution. Just take The Big Bang Theory, for example; it introduced millions of people to science humor, even if they didn’t quite understand every reference.
To understand the magic of science humor better, we spoke with Matthias Hanke, a M.Sc. Biophysics and Biomodeler based in Lyon, France. He believes that humor plays a key role in making science more engaging. “Humor helps people connect with science. It works on both sides, the listener and the joke creator. If you understand the joke, it reinforces a positive connection with science. If you don’t, it might still spark curiosity and make you want to learn more.”

According to Matthias, jokes can be a great educational tool. “For example, some jokes take a scientific concept ad absurdum, making people question the definition of that concept. Others mirror scientific ideas in a familiar context, helping listeners grasp the core idea through analogy.” Basically, a well-crafted joke can be an invitation to explore a new topic.
Some science jokes even introduce scientific trivia in an unexpectedly fun way. “Wordplay can make people curious about unfamiliar terms, scientists’ names, or even technical concepts. Instead of feeling intimidated, they might feel motivated to look it up and understand more.” So, the next time a joke makes you Google something, know that it’s doing its job!

Mars does have an atmosphere. Not one you can breathe, but the sandstorms are epic
When it comes to his own field, Matthias finds plenty of humor in biomathematics, especially in disease modeling. “Since it sits at the intersection of multiple disciplines, there’s a lot of comedic potential.” And of course, he had some jokes to share.
One of his favorites? “Why did the virus break up with the cell? Because it wanted space to multiply!” It's the kind of nerdy punchline that gets a chuckle in his circles and a groan from everyone else.

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”
On the mathematical side, he gave an example: "A mathematician was challenged to catch a lion in the Sahara. He steps inside a cage and says, 'I’ve caught the lion.' ‘What?’ the challenger asks. ‘Oh, it’s quite simple, you see, I’ve just defined the inside of the cage as the outside!’" This joke pokes fun at how mathematicians play with definitions to solve problems, sometimes in ways that don’t quite match reality.

Reminds me Shrodinger thing. His explanation: "At any moment, the cat can be dead or alive." People: "Oh that means the cat is both dead or alive." Actual meaning: "I gotta check inside the box to see if the cat is dead."
“It’s not just people in my field who enjoy science jokes; engineers, doctors, and physicists love them too! These jokes lighten the mood, spark curiosity, and honestly, who doesn’t love a clever pun about atoms, black holes, or Schrödinger’s cat?”

The solution for getting more kids interested in STEM: lightsabers.
Science jokes don’t just make people laugh, they make them think. A clever pun or a well-placed joke can take something intimidating and make it approachable. It removes the “this is too complicated for me” barrier and replaces it with curiosity.

Well, the only reason I couldn't invent calculus is that it has already been done.
Matthias believes that humor is an underrated tool in education. “It makes learning fun, keeps people engaged, and encourages them to explore topics they might otherwise avoid.” And let's be honest, who doesn’t love a good nerdy joke?
So, whether you’re a science enthusiast or just someone who enjoys a good laugh, there’s something special about science humor. Which of these jokes did you find the most clever? Let us know and if you have a science joke of your own, don’t hold back!

This is a particular problem with certain Casio calculators, as they expect you to enter an equation explicitly and not use shortened (conventional) forms of mathematical notation.

0/0 is not undefined. It is indeterminate. Meaning it depends. Take sin x/x. If x = 0, that's 0/0. But as x gets close to 0 from above or below, the value of the quotient is essentially 1. Or take (x^2-1)/(x-1). If x = 1, that's 0/0. But as x gets close to 1 from above or below, the value of the quotient is essentially 2. If you plot them on a graphing calculator, you'll see this. (It's a non-zero number divided by zero that's undefined.)

For those who forgot basic math (like I did before I looked it up) it's a^2 + b^2 + 2ab.

math teachers while you're watching are like "so then you can simplify 300x/30 to 10x" and then you look away for one minute and they're like "so now that we've gotten 52 quadrillion 72 hundred 90 xrq to the power of lmnop divided by the sine of the tangent of the absolute value of infinity and beyond, we can easily find our answer"

Reminds me of my 4th-year (14-15 yrs-old) physics teacher. He was a retired professor who had decided to get back into teaching. The trouble was that he could not teach at secondary school level: he tried teaching us university-level physics and couldn't understand why we couldn't follow what he was teaching us.
