December 5, 1901 – February 1, 1976. And yes, we’re fairly certain of that. |
Werner Heisenberg gets pulled over one night as he’s driving home on the highway.
The patrolman walks up to the physicist’s rolled-down window and says to him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
Heisenberg shakes his head.
“I have no idea,” he says, “but I can tell you exactly where I was.”
Did they teach this in English class? Because I don't remember you taking much Physics ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis post did indeed stray well out of our regular area of expertise, and it took quite a bit of research to whip it into shape. Until just a couple of weeks ago, we were under the impression that a heisenberg was what sank the Titanic.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that was the problem - the captain knew how fast he was going, he just didn't know where he was well enough to know there was an iceberg in front of him...
