A neutreno was born.
9 months later the mother finds out she is pregnant.

Neutrinos are the kings of hipsters, they do everything before it was cool.

Errrrr.... guys? I thought that these were tachyon jokes!

Why did the tachyon/neutrino cross the road? To get back to the other side.

Why are neutrinos not Catholic? Because they have no mass.

Huh...?

Edit: Tachyons are hypothetical, neutrinos aren't.

Edit2: I don't understand the joke, but even then neutrinos have mass...

If you've been following the news, a recent experiment has recorded neutrinos traveling (apparently) faster than light. It's most likely a result of measurement error, but the media has been making a huge sensation out of it, so neutrino and tachyon jokes have been about the same thing recently.

This is outdated. Neutrino oscillation has been observed to occur, and the fact that it occurs requires neutrinos to have a non-zero mass. Their mass is still tiny enough, though, that it has not been measured directly and is fairly uncertain.

But pretending that neutrinos do have no mass, can you explain the joke? I really don't get it...

Edit: Tachyons are hypothetical, neutrinos aren't.

On the off chance that the recent findings at CERN aren't the result of measurement error, neutrinos would in fact be tachyons (at least in certain situations).

Edit2: I don't understand the joke, but even then neutrinos have mass...

At one time neutrinos were in fact thought to have no mass. Then came the solar neutrino problem and theories about neutrino oscillation, then came the actual observation of neutrino oscillation.

The joke is a pun between Catholic Mass and the physical meaning of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass"]mass[/ame].

Only on Orbiter-Forum could someone not find a joke funny because it isn't scientifically accurate.

Very true. But O-F is a place where a lot of specific things happen that happens nowhere else.

Man, I hate myself. You guys have just comprehensively trashed all the physics jokes that I know.

Now, all I have left is...

A Physicist is about to jump to jump off a building.
Don't try to convince him otherwise by saying "You've got potential."
