Heisenberg at a traffic stop

1. Schroedinger was in the passenger seat...

And the cop asked, "Do you have anything in the trunk?"

Shroedinger said, "Yes, a cat."

"A cat? Is it dead or alive?"

"We won't know until we open the trunk."

2. XD

3. So the cop opens the trunk, and the cat is alive...

And the cop says, "you're going to have to transport the cat inside the vechicle."

Pauli is sitting in the backseat, and as soon as they put the cat in the car, he jumps out and climbs into the trunk saying, "I can't sit next to the cat!"

4. While they are sitting there, another car comes speeding toward the intersection.

The light is green, but the car comes to a screeching halt.

The cop yells, "Hey, why are you going so fast, and why did you stop at a green light?"

That car is being driven by Doppler...

8. Other way round: Red light would be compressed into green light.

EDIT: You would have to go at ~4.2% light-speed to see this.

9. Oops

There is an apocryphal story that this was once used as a defense to running a red light that was successfully used by a physicist.

But you are right. The car was driven by Einstein who was trying to fit a ten foot long vehicle into an eight foot log garage.

7. My next cat will be named Heisenberg

"Heisenberg! Where are you?????"

[Speck Tater]

5. Then there was the other time...

... when the cop asked "do you know how fast you were going?"

And Heisenberg says "Yes, I know exactly how fast I was going. I just don't know where I am."

6. What if the cop was a Zen Buddhist?

S/he would clout Heisenberg with a bamboo stick and say "You see? You don't have to go fast if you are already there!"

10. This entire thread may officially be

the single greatest thing I have ever seen. Thank you to everyone here!

11. Well, if his rest mass is non-zero...

...we can be confident he was going less than c.

"Officer, don't you think you should be trying to discover where all that momentum went?"
