In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states by precise inequalities that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known to arbitrarily high precision. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured. The principle states that a minimum exists for the product of the uncertainties in these properties that is equal to or greater than one half of the reduced Planck constant (ħ = h/2π
.
so I get it...but its not all that funny so much as clever

I think if you do get this the first time you don't get it at all ;PUncertaintyPrinciple said:

I had to read through the thread and see what it was referring to but it?s fairly funny now I know.
I have this to contribute; it starts out with a virus walking into a bar.

I have a feeling that the secret to the joke lies in the speedo. Hopeful not inside the speedo.
I'll contribute with another joke that everyone will get but still relates to science.
When a third grader was asked to cite Newton's first law, she said, "Bodies in motion remain in motion, and bodies at rest stay in bed unless their mothers call them to get up."
God, I feel like a lame Physics teacher.

I am not that big on science, but even i thought of the uncertainty principle at first.Souplex said:

An example of what the OP wants from the thread:
Descartes walks into a bar, the barman asks him if he wants a drink. Descartes responds "I think not" and promptly disappears.
Specialist jokes that you realise really aren't that funny even to the people who understand them.
