15 People Share Their Best Science Jokes

What did the nucleus say when it divided itself?

“Ex-cell-sior!”

Puns are still cool, right?

Okay, I can read the room. I’ll see myself out. But before I go, check out these 15 science-based jokes from people a lot smarter and funnier than me.

1. Pavlov’s Dog

Ivan Pavlov is sitting in a bar. The phone behind the bar starts ringing.

Pavlov shoots up out of his chair and shouts, “Oh, shit! I forgot to feed the dog!”

3. Who needs counseling when you have Relativity?

Einstein: “What can I do, I’ll do anything.”

Wife: “I just need two things right now, space and time.”

Einstein: “And the second?”

4. It just keeps getting smaller and smaller…

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The first one says to the bartender: “I’ll have a beer.”

The second one says: “I’ll have half a beer.”

The third one says: “I’ll have a quarter of a beer.”

The bartender pours two beers and says, “You guys need to learn your limits.”

5. Does it smell like Radon in here?

Why did no one say a word when the king farted?

Because noble gases don’t cause reactions.

6. We can’t all be stars.

Since light travels faster than sound, people may appear bright until you hear them speak.

7. One thing at a time.

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are traveling in a car when they get pulled over. The cop asks Heisenberg, “Do you know how fast you were going?”

Heisenberg replies, “No, but I can tell you exactly where I was.”

The officer takes this peculiar response as grounds to search the vehicle. Upon opening the trunk of the car, he finds a dead cat.

He then asks the two men, “Did you know there was a dead cat in the trunk?”

Schrodinger replies, “Well, I do now!”

8. It all depends on your perspective.

A physicist, a biologist, and a mathematician are outside of a house. They see one person go in, followed shortly by two people coming out.

The physicist says, “The second person must have been inside the whole time.”

The biologist says, “The first person must have spontaneously reproduced.”

The mathematician says, “If someone goes inside, the house will be empty.”

9. Always remember.

You matter.

Until you multiply yourself times the speed of light squared.

Then you energy.
