I had a joke on the new particle the CERN found, but I've been advised the topic is too heavy
I had a joke about gravity, but I think it'll let you down and it may fall flat.
I have a neutrino joke I wanted to tell, but the punchline is almost impossible to spot
This actually made me laugh out loud, it's so fucking irredeemably awful 😂
Thanks, I had to go through a giant tank of water to spot this one
I have a joke about Higgs Boson, but it doesn’t have mass appeal.
I have a charm quark joke, but it might sound strange
I have a UDP joke but you may not get it.
I'd tell you a joke about brown dwarves, but it's kinda dark...
Someone once told me an airplane joke, but it flew right over my head.
Living next to an airport will do that to you
I had a joke about superposition, but it never sounds the same.
You can observe that this dark matter joke is funny:
I have an Omega Molecule joke, but we're not allowed to talk about it.
I'd tell a reduction reaction joke, but I want to stay positive.
I've got a photon joke, but I'm not sure you'd see the humor.
I've got a graviton joke, but don't want the mood to get too heavy.
It doesn't matter what time you think it's the right one, the black hole will get it anyway.
