Nothing, travelling through a wormhole would splat you like a frog in a liquidiser.ChristmasChild said:A professor of theoretical physics put this question on a test:
If you were to travel through a wormhole to Proxima Centauri in 1919, get out a high-powered telescope to view the Earth, then what formula will you see Einstein writing on a chalkboard and what country will he be in?
Here's the punchline: They're all either gay or taken. =PCalobi said:You should introduce me to some from the latter category.Erana said:Not exactly a joke, but all the biologists I know are either professors or really smexy gamer chicks.

Speaking as a mathematician, I would call a number in the form you describe complex, rather than imaginary. A pure imaginary number has a real part of zero (that is, A = 0).olicon said:If a number lies outside of the real line, it is imaginary. That is, it HAS to be expressed in form of A+Bi.
What about Neon? It's a noble gas as well!RedDiablo said:Q: Why is Helium a king?
A: Because it is a noble gas!
Then what's Argon?nimrandir said:Maybe neon is an earl. By the way, Marquis Krypton wants nothing to do with any of this.
And Argon?nimrandir said:It is a little less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere -- and a viscount.
That was hilarious!Shellsh0cker said:xkcd did a version of that one:Cpt. Red said:Biologists think they are biochemists,
Biochemists think they are Physical Chemists,
Physical Chemists think they are Physicists,
Physicists think they are Gods,
And God thinks he is a Mathematician.

A physicist and an engineer are in a hot-air balloon when a storm springs up, blowing them off course. When the storm subsides, the physicist yells, "Can anyone tell us where we are?"
A moment later, a reply is shouted: "You're in a hot-air balloon!"
"Huh," say the engineer, "a mathematician."
"Why do you say that?" asks the physicist.
"Well," say the engineer, "the answer was completely correct and utterly useless."
The throne regrets to announce that Baron Xenon was stripped of his title and lands following the exposure of his dalliance with a sextet of halogen maidservants.crimson5pheonix said:And Argon?nimrandir said:It is a little less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere -- and a viscount.
Edit: sorry, I'm retarded I meant Xenon.

You can't forget about Ununoctium!nimrandir said:I'll let you know once I can get it the heck out of my basement.
Sure you can. Here now, gone one tiny fraction of a millisecond later.crimson5pheonix said:You can't forget about Ununoctium!nimrandir said:I'll let you know once I can get it the heck out of my basement.
That made me laugh. Alright then, what makes the Noble gasses Noble? Did they exploit the workers? Did they arbitrarily claim the title arbitrarily? Why don't the other elements split off and form an anarco-sydicalist commune?nimrandir said:Unfortunately, the valiant squire Ununoctium disintegrated before he could be granted a title.
