"for example, Newton’s laws of motion"

Science Brian Cox and Robin Ince talk to The List about how to make physics funny:

"Cox: It depends on the level of your jokes, I suppose. The famous one-liner about F16 fighter jets, Polish plumbers and singularities in the complex plane, requiring a deep understanding of Cauchy’s integral theorem, is probably never going to work. But I do think that a society in which everyone has a basic background knowledge of, for example, Newton’s laws of motion, Einstein’s theories of relativity and quantum mechanics would be a better place to live. We do expect people to have at least heard of Shakespeare and Beethoven, after all."

Robin doesn't for some reason appear in the accompanying photograph which confirms my suspicion that he must be a vampire.  Or doesn't like to be photographed which is probably just as much proof.
