Esoteric Highbrow Joke Alert

How do you know that the driver driving toward you is a physicist?

He has a red sticker on his bumper, saying:

"If this sticker is blue, you are driving too fast."

ithankyou

oh, and



There are only 10 types of people in this world.


Those that understand binary jokes and those that don't.

 

[Morbyd]

First one is good, second one is great

 

[Mark Sun]

I didn't get the first one, but the second one will be obligatory when I talk to my computer nerd mates again

 

[stuie]

I didn't get the first one

nor did i! can you explain russ?

a knowledge of higher physics and some basic astronomy is required to understand the concept of red/blue shift.

from wikipedia

Blue shift is the opposite of redshift, the latter being much more noted due to its importance to modern astronomy. It is also used informally to refer to a hypsochromic shift in photochemistry.
Blue shift is the phenomenon that the frequency of an electromagnetic wave (such as light) emitted by a source moving towards the observer is shifted towards the blue side of the electromagnetic spectrum (that is, its wavelength is decreased).
The phenomenon of shifting wavelengths in frames of reference moving relatively to each other is commonly known as Doppler shift or Doppler effect.
While the general redshift of starlight is seen as evidence for an expanding universe, there are a few examples of blue shift in astronomy:
The Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our own Milky Way Galaxy within the Local Group; thus, when observed from earth, its light is undergoing a blue shift. When observing spiral galaxies, the side spinning towards us will have a slight blue shift (see Tully-Fisher relation). Also, Blazars are known to propel relativistic jets towards us, emitting synchrotron radiation and Bremsstrahlung that appears blue shifted





honestly, where did you kidz go to school!
