Thats not a stupid question Turtle,

 

 

Turtle why haven't we found Bigfoot yet, I thought you were on a hunt.

 

 

:shrug: :evil: :cup:

 

:( How stupid of me to think it was. :shrug: :)

 

Now is a time I would actually like to go. What makes it a good time to go however is what makes it a bad time to go, which is snow. I do not currently have the means to go into the high cascades, but I'm planning for it. :doh:

 

Here's my next stupid question: How do you know when you see a turtle on a fence post that it didn't get there by itself? :bloom: :lol:

How many scientist does it take to change a light bulb?

You're crazy. No scientist in his or her right mind just "changes a light bulb". First of all, there's analysis and modelling. You have to demonstrate feasibility from first principles. Maybe go to a conference and put up a poster. Get some technical feedback.

 

Finally, you have to carefully make your assumptions.

 

Like, assuming perfectly spherical race horses.

 

On average, approximately 2.78183 scientists, for a standard metric lightbulb in the energy range of 10^28 to 10^38 electron-volts.

By the way why is the electron-Volt abbreviated as eV and not [imath]e^-V[/imath] or elV?

why are you asking such a stupid question??? :hihi::evil::hihi:

 

I think it has something to do with the Dutch. They're always capitalizing the second letter in words. Maybe.

Stupid me. :phones:

 

Where'd you get your talent for subtlety, Q?

Ooops, sorry, I wasn't talking about your answer (which kinda outsmarted Turtle:hihi:), I was talking about these ones.

Gotcha, thanks! ;)

 

I'm not a mathematician so here's a potentially stupid question:

 

What does the equation in your avatar symbolize? :phones:

 

It's very interesting.

Well, it's not a stupid question, only a not-a-physicist question,

 

so it doesn't qualify for this thread!

 

:phones:

 

Anyway it's a compact form of the Dirac equation.

Is there a similar low grade contempt that exists between mathematicians and pysicists, such as you'll find between architects and engineers?

Excellent! An opportunity to learn. I'll look it up. :phones:

What's a "pysicist"?

 

Sounds definitely medical to me...

 

"Hand me the urine sample, you old pysicist, you..."

 

:lol::lol::lol:

 

uhh.....yeah.....umm.....right, well, I was trying to make the question seem even stupider.....yeah, that's what it was. Supider! :phones:
