Flirty Albert Einstein

Published on by Jenna HutsonLeave a comment

Since the most famous theoretical physicist had his 136th birthday earlier this week (3.14 – -Pi Day), I decided I should highlight the 2 things that he is best known for; developing the theory of general relativity (with special relativity, E=mc^2) and being a huge flirt. No, really… It’s documented in numerous letters to his wife and daughter that although he was married, he was quite the philanderer.

So I give you, Flirty Al. In his lifetime, he was never able to connect general relativity and quantum field theory (quantum mechanics) into a single Theory of Everything… but maybe you can help him out with that…

unified theory

Feel Free to hop on over to memegenerator to make your own Flirty Al tribute. Yes, pervy physics is way more fun than regular physics, I promise.

Why is the sky blue?

BS (Bull Sh*t) Answer: Blue is the color of dragon farts….and they fart a lot. So much that they have created a azure haze to hide their existence. I know you can’t see them, but they’re up there. Flying around…and farting.

BS (Bachelors of Science) Answer: We perceive the color of the sky as a result of the angle at which we view the light waves as they are scattered by the molecules that make up our atmosphere. Blue light is relatively short, getting absorbed and bounced around very readily by the gases in our atmosphere. Red light is still present but is absorbed at a much lower rate. Eventually these wannabe light saber photons hit your face. The cones in your eyes perceive this wavelength as blue and you decided to ask a desk monkey/biologist about it on Tumblr.

Today we celebrate the most under-celebrated engineering genius of the last 200 years,

Nikola Tesla. Just look at those dreamy bedroom eyes.

OH Flirty Tesla, take me now!
OH Flirty Tesla, take me now!

I created the character, now let’s make Flirty Tesla a ‘thang.’
