Knives are also made of atoms
Sure? How many? Because I have some atoms at home and need a new knife
At least 50
Boy, that’s alot!
but an alot of atoms is just a regular old alot…!
Call that a knife?
Not this knife

Some are smaller than others
They could be made of degenerate matter.
Don’t eat fissile cucumbers.

One of these nerds is not like the others,
One of these geeks just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which nerd is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?I don’t like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it’s SCIENCE.
Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.
Amen.
Tyson? Why not cause he’s an asshole? Are you aware that both Einstein and Hawkings were also assholes?
While Einstein and Hawking (no s) were giants of their field, published papers that turned all other accepted science on its head, and have basic physical phenomenon of the Universe named after them, they were surprisingly limited in their knowledge of other fields. Whereas NdT will expound on absolutely any topic with the complete certainty that he is a fucking expert, even if he only just now inferred the existence of the thing from the question he is presently being asked. He is a Mycroftian megabrain of galactic proportions, a fact he appreciates better than anyone else.

But they weren’t pretentious know-it-alls on TV and YT
I can imagine Twitter and YouTube in their day. Cancelled so fast lol
Stephen Hawking did post to Twitter. He used Twitter to communicate about science, the future of humanity, and important causes like climate change. One of his first tweets was in 2014 when he used the platform to raise awareness about ALS, the disease he had lived with for decades. While not prolific on Twitter, the posts reflected his passion for science, space exploration, and human progress.
At least, according to ChatGPT.
No, that knife isn’t made of atoms, that knife is made of pure solid quarks. That’s why it can cut atomic nuclei.
I choose to believe it’s made of small atoms, the kind you get from firing a shrink ray at something.
They call me Johnny Smallatoms
How big was that knife originally?!
Depends on what display you are viewing it on.
We’re gonna need a community for comedy homicide for this. That last panel ruins it.
!comedyhomicide@lemmy.world exists but has no posts, consider cross posting
Then he went on to make lemonade with strawberries and heavy water. Deuterium, you get me? Strawberry fusion lemonade.
No I don’t get it. But I would like to. Is this one of those scenarios where three physicists walk into a bar, each one tells a joke but none of it are funny so no one gets it?
The moment I wrote it, I was hearing it in the voice of Benny Safdie in his first scene as weirdo Edward Teller, in “Oppenheimer”.
Didn’t watch the movie, probably why it went over my head. Sorry 🤷♂️
No Oppenheimer?!!
Your geek credentials are hereby revoked until further notice!
Or until you atone!Oppenheimer is a mainstream movie though. It’s not that geeky.
It’s a movie about physics, with characters like Niels Bohr featured prominently, which just so happened to be made for general audiences and it was a hit, by a director whose other historical film was about Dunkirk.
Before these movies were made, the subjects were pretty much obscure to the mainstream. Films like these are regarded as risky for large studios, and it’s widely acknowledged that Christopher Nolan is on the very short list of directors with the blessing to do absolutely whatever they want at large studio scale and budget and that is not part of a franchise. And by “very short list” I mean people like Stanley Kubrick.
The “mainstream” label on Oppenheimer is incidental, after the fact.
I would watch an edit of the movie that only featured the physics part of it. It’s the boring part I don’t have time for
Subject matter doesn’t appeal to me much, and I’m also not very fond of the lead actor (no particular reason, he’s a great actor) If it serves as consolation I only watched like 15min of barbie, either
I didn’t make it through 5min of Barbie lol
Oppenheimer was good and had nice music too.
Is that what killed that girl at Panera a while back?
And that’s how we got bubbles in beer.
I’m glad someone else remembers that movie.
God, I saw it in the theater. That theater was almost completely empty.
*chop “damn.” *chop “damn.” *cho -BOOM
That’s a 4D knife.
That’s gotta be the sharpest knife in existence having a diameter of half an atom…
Doesn’t have to be sharp. It could be extremely fast.
When I was a kid, I was legitimately afraid of this
And that’s why you don’t see cooking mouse no more.
reminds me of yahoo serious splitting a beer atom with a chisel in his shed. young einstein, what a fun movie
Sad to not see more comments about The Subtle Knife. This is a great meme for that concept!
That was a great series. I should reread it soon.
Let me atom *
Hawking, my guy, why have you forsaken us? 🥺 I believed in you
