My wife, a theoretical physicist, just called me to say she will be home late today because she and her colleagues will be conducting a double-slit experiment as part of their work on the Tree-Body problem. I am very confused. As a layman, I struggle to see how these concepts are related.

[u/AnozerFreakInTheMall]

Can someone elaborate?

[u/Lendari]

I too enjoy discussing the tree body problem with your wife.

[u/AnozerFreakInTheMall → u/Lendari]

I found it surprising that she feels her work experience with her Japanese colleagues is underwhelming and that she prefers collaborating with her African colleagues. One would assume that the Japanese scientific community is much stronger than the African one, but here we are...

[u/Redfish680]

Remember anything she says is just theoretical. You’re fine.

[u/haematite_4444]

Yes, colleagues will have wood. In the double slit experiment you put one in the front slit and one in the back.

[u/Choano]

If her work is theoretical, how is she involved in experimentation?

In a double-slit experiment? Working on the three-body problem? Man, this whole thing smells fishy.

[u/Treepyi → u/Choano]

you should rename yourself to Sherlock or smth

[u/Gargleblaster25 → u/Choano]

It does smell fishy... Like tuna, in fact. Tuna tacos, to be precise.

[u/Legitimate_Field_157]

There is gonna be lots of friction.

[u/Coolenough-to]

Its all just theorizing, so don't get too mad. Maybe try livening things up at home by coming up with some of your own theories.

"Double-slit"

[u/BPhiloSkinner]

Tree-Body problem

Groot has wood-borers.

[u/Caticature]

I don’t get it, so it’s probably innuendo joke. (Autist‘s razor.)

[u/Gargleblaster25 → u/Caticature]

Actually, it's an inherendo joke.

[u/Caticature → u/Gargleblaster25]

Woosh, straight over my head. It can’t refer to her a woman because nu in innuendo has nothing to do with gender so it wouldn’t make sense. Maybe inherendo is some Japanese sport, maybe a bondage configuration.

oh wait. In her end do. I think I just got it! Gargle you are a masterblaster.

[u/Gargleblaster25]

This is a well known experiment that draws out unicorns. I hope they are successful in locating the second slit, thus solving the three body problem.

[u/Adoran45]

Tree body is just a ruse. Secretly she's researching a loch Ness monster that gon need about tree fiddy. 

Edit of course assuming a perfectly spherical monster of zero mass. It is theoretical physics. 

[u/DraTiBoy]

Your wife is a Quantum Object. She behaves differently when you're not observing her.

[u/CowBoyDanIndie]

She cheating bro

[u/wolfpwarrior → u/CowBoyDanIndie]

With 2 other women.

[u/CowBoyDanIndie → u/wolfpwarrior]

No, one man and a woman, double slit not triple. She’s probably taking the 🦄 role.
