“[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow Spherical cows]” are a common joke spoofing overly-simplistic models in theoretical physics: asked to improve the efficiency of a dairy farm, a physicist works tirelessly until he comes back to the former to tell him that he “has the solution, but it only works with perfectly spherical cows in a vacuum”. In its original context, the joke is of course based on the fact that there are no such things. | “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cow Spherical cows]” are a common joke spoofing overly-simplistic models in theoretical physics: asked to improve the efficiency of a dairy farm, a physicist works tirelessly until he comes back to the former to tell him that he “has the solution, but it only works with perfectly spherical cows in a vacuum”.
