In the meantime, here&#8217;s a joke to lighten the mood: A physicist, a biologist, and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time. The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and strode into the ocean. Obviously he drowned and never returned. The biologist said he wanted to do research on the flora and fauna inside the ocean and he also strode right in. He, too, never returned. The chemist waited for several hours and then wrote the observation, \u201cThe physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s challenging material!.
