Physicist Party!

Found this while searching for info on famous physicists, and figured it’d be worth posting about:

I particularly like that last one.

Haha! That’s one of the most awesome things I’ve seen recently.

I loved “Heisenberg may or may not have been there.”

Schwartzchild remained on the edge of the event.

Hawking radiated intelligence before disappearing.

I’m sorry, but that was awful. Reminds me why I dropped out of physics.

I’ve seen that one before, but it is really good.

And for a moment, I thought you were trying to find all the physicists on the boards… I thought, gasp that we might actually have a party! :wink:

Friggin’ dammit, the only one I don’t get is “Thompson” and the plum pudding. Are we talking about William Thomson (no “p”), Lord Kelvin? I’m doing a great deal of work using some of his basic teachings, and really want to know! Plum pudding?!?

JJ Thompson posited the “plum pudding” model of the atom – a sea of positive charge with electrons stuck in it. Rutherford killed the model when he discovered the nucleus.

I’ve been to physicist parties. They’re full of people making jokes like that. It’s not pretty. Luckily, we made friends with psych students, who have much better parties. “What are you studying?” they’d ask. "We’re not students here, " we’d lie, “we’re, um, custodians. Another beer?”

Michelson and Morley bounced around for a while, then sped off.

Mie and Ramon were (also) scatter-brained.

Planck had fun, but in discrete increments.

Navier and Stokes went with the flow.

Chandrasekhar reached his limit when the punch ran out.

Feynman played the bongos. :smiley:

And speaking of good ol’ Ernie -

Rutherford was always the nucleus of the conversation.

That is really reaching. :dubious: :slight_smile:

I was thinking it was a party for us Doper physics type, but since it’s not:

Fermi left with a splitting headache.

Planck constantly, but discretely, chased Noether.

Noether continuously rebuffed him.

Maxwell lit up the place.

Kelvin got in a heated debate with Fahrenheit.

Penrose puked all over the tiles.

Bardeen and Cooper surprised everyone by pairing up and effortlessly conducting a skit.

And not all physics parties are like this! However, the male female ratio was always about the same as in this party.

I agree, Gabe. I bet I could come up with a better one. Let’s see:

Bohr got drunk and showed everyone his “model.” (Nah, too dirty.)

Bohr thought the party was really on the level. (Eh.)

Bohr had just flown in from Copenhagen, and boy were his arms tired! (Been done.)

Hmm … this is harder than I thought.

Bohr got excited. (There. Brilliant in its simplicity.)

And as a bonus:

Everyone thought Schrodinger was the cat’s meow.

Hubble spent the whole party watching the other side of the room.
