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.

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?

Tyson? Why not cause he's an asshole? Are you aware that both Einstein and Hawkings were also assholes?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

We're gonna need a community for comedy homicide for this. That last panel ruins it.

Then he went on to make lemonade with strawberries and heavy water. Deuterium, you get me? Strawberry fusion lemonade.

[–] portuga 10 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

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?

That's a 4D knife.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's gotta be the sharpest knife in existence having a diameter of half an atom...
