knife shrinks

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Let me atom *

[–] [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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Doesn't have to be sharp. It could be extremely fast.

When I was a kid, I was legitimately afraid of this

And that's how we got bubbles in beer.

I'm glad someone else remembers that movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

God, I saw it in the theater. That theater was almost completely empty.

*chop "damn." *chop "damn." *cho -BOOM

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's a 4D knife.

Hawking, my guy, why have you forsaken us? 🥺 I believed in you

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

Is that what killed that girl at Panera a while back?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The moment I wrote it, I was hearing it in the voice of Benny Safdie in his first scene as weirdo Edward Teller, in "Oppenheimer".

Didn’t watch the movie, probably why it went over my head. Sorry 🤷‍♂️

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

No Oppenheimer?!!

Subject matter doesn’t appeal to me much, and I’m also not very fond of the lead actor (no particular reason, he’s a great actor) If it serves as consolation I only watched like 15min of barbie, either

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't make it through 5min of Barbie lol

Oppenheimer was good and had nice music too.

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

Oppenheimer is a mainstream movie though. It's not that geeky.

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

It's a movie about physics, with characters like Niels Bohr featured prominently, which just so happened to be made for general audiences and it was a hit, by a director whose other historical film was about Dunkirk.

Before these movies were made, the subjects were pretty much obscure to the mainstream. Films like these are regarded as risky for large studios, and it's widely acknowledged that Christopher Nolan is on the very short list of directors with the blessing to do absolutely whatever they want at large studio scale and budget and that is not part of a franchise. And by "very short list" I mean people like Stanley Kubrick.

The "mainstream" label on Oppenheimer is incidental, after the fact.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I would watch an edit of the movie that only featured the physics part of it. It’s the boring part I don’t have time for

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sad to not see more comments about The Subtle Knife. This is a great meme for that concept!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

That was a great series. I should reread it soon.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[email protected] exists but has no posts, consider cross posting

No, that knife isn't made of atoms, that knife is made of pure solid quarks. That's why it can cut atomic nuclei.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I choose to believe it's made of small atoms, the kind you get from firing a shrink ray at something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How big was that knife originally?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on what display you are viewing it on.

They call me Johnny Smallatoms
