A Biologist, a Chemist and a Physicist were working on an industrial research project to help explain the disappearance of a farmer’s chickens. Each of them watched night after night as the chickens went into the henhouse, but none ever emerged again. When they looked into the henhouse, no chickens were to be found.
When the farmer asked the Biologist for an explanation, he said that there was undoubted predation happening, but the variability of the system prevented a statistically significant conclusion from being reached.
The Chemist said that undoubtedly the chickens were there, but he needed a very large grant to buy more sensitive instrumentation to be able to detect them.
Meanwhile, the Physicist was busy scribble furiously on a large pad of paper. He covered page after page, writing frantically. Eventually, he shouted “I have it! However, the solution only works for a spherical chicken in a vacuum…”
