Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle of Humor

It's a well-known scientific fact that the probability of a joke being funny is directly proportional to the observer's mood, cultural background, and personal experience. However, when it comes to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Humor, things get really fuzzy.

According to renowned Physicist and Comedian, Werner Heisenberg, "It's not that the joke is funny, it's just that we're not sure it's funny."

Or as his student, Albert Einstein, put it, "A joke is like a particle: it's only funny if you're looking at it, but its humor is lost in translation."
