That’s gotta be the sharpest knife in existence having a diameter of half an atom…
Doesn’t have to be sharp. It could be extremely fast.
We’re gonna need a community for comedy homicide for this. That last panel ruins it.
!comedyhomicide@lemmy.world exists but has no posts, consider cross posting
And that’s how we got bubbles in beer.
I’m glad someone else remembers that movie.
God, I saw it in the theater. That theater was almost completely empty.
*chop “damn.” *chop “damn.” *cho -BOOM
No, that knife isn’t made of atoms, that knife is made of pure solid quarks. That’s why it can cut atomic nuclei.
Knives are also made of atoms
Call that a knife?
Not this knife
Some are smaller than others
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?
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?
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 🤷♂️
No Oppenheimer?!!
Your geek credentials are hereby revoked until further notice!
Or until you atone!Oppenheimer is a mainstream movie though. It’s not that geeky.
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.
That’s a 4D knife.
Don’t eat fissile cucumbers.

Hawking, my guy, why have you forsaken us? 🥺 I believed in you
That’s easy to explain, having cut a lot of cucumbers in my life. Since the actual nucleus of an atom is much smaller than the atom including its electrons itself, the probability of hitting the protons or neutrons is so small, that I’d need to live for a few thousand years and cut 1 cucumber per second nonstop, before this scenario happens even once. It is not impossible, just very improbable.
I know very little about physics and I’m pretty sure you could cut cucumbers with a knife until the end of time and you’ll never trigger a nuclear explosion.
It’s also why cats are afraid of cucumbers.
But what would you do with the sliced cucumbers of millenia?
Dunno. I guess growing them fast enough would also be a problem.
Ok if it is theoretically possible to cut atoms by using metal knives then why didn’t ever a fission happen? I mean if you combine all knife cutting in the whole world since knives exist, the probability should be pretty high.
Well, it probably happened an infinite amount of times already. But the resulting cucumber-detonation just triggers a new Big Bang. We’re on the whatever-millionth reset now. Should end any day now. STOP CUTTING CUCUMBERS, SHEEPLE!!
Someone let Einstein loose, we must admit that violence is on occasion the only recourse.
You’re assuming the blade would be thinner than the nucleus, at the very least.
You’re doing it wrong. The mouse just diced a cucumber really, really l, small.
Not with that attitude.
And that’s why you don’t see cooking mouse no more.
reminds me of yahoo serious splitting a beer atom with a chisel in his shed. young einstein, what a fun movie
