Has anyone heard the joke about the astronomer who tried to outwit the police?

Question

Apparently he has went through a red light and the police pulled him over. So he argued that he saw the light as green because he was moving towards it and consequently it was blueshifted.

In the end he wasn't fined for running the red light but for speeding, because if he really saw that light as green and it really blueshifted, he would of had to have been moving at 200,000,000km/h! LOL

Know any more jokes like this? Share them!

Answer 1

That was hilarious! The best I can do is a math-related pick up line I heard. Walk up to a girl and say:

"I wish I were a derivative so I could lie tangent to you curves."

Lame and old, I know, but it would probably be hilarious to see someone actually use it somewhere.

EDIT: OMG, that would've been a great deleted scene to A Beautiful Mind!

Answer 2

Okay, these are more physics/chemistry related than space, but enjoy them anyway:

=====

A neutron walks into a bar. "I'd like a beer" he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. "How much will that be?" asks the neutron. "For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge"

=====

Two atoms are walking down the street. One says to the other "d**n, I think I just lost an electron!". "Are you sure?" asks his friend. "Yes," he replies, "I'm positive".

Johnny was a chemist

Now Johnny is no more

What he thought was H2O

Was H2SO4
