The Quirky Science of Marrying Your Cousin: A Humorous Take
Written on
Chapter 1: A Comedic Introduction to Physics
Welcome to the whimsical world of "The Dummy’s Guide to Physics," a simplified rendition of my book of the same name. You can think of this entry as a meta-guide to the original guide. The charm of a Dummy’s Guide lies in the fact that neither you nor your audience needs to have prior knowledge. We're all in this together! This is why my wife humorously suggested I compose "The Dummy’s Guide to Sex," which I did, though it was more akin to a brief pamphlet—let’s say a few notes scribbled on a Post-it. Enough about that!
Here’s the scoop on physics: everything else is just fluff created by a bunch of brainiacs at MIT and Stanford trying to maintain their job security.
Theory of Relativity
According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, marrying your first cousin is a no-go. If you do so, your children might lack a number of neurons comparable to Ramanujan’s constant—quite significant! This means they would likely be drooling and perhaps wearing a MAGA hat.
Archimedes' Principle
This principle, discovered by Zorba T. Greek in the 3rd century B.C. (Before Computers), is humorously named after a popular ouzo. The principle suggests that after indulging in Archimedes' ouzo, one feels an irresistible urge to find a beach and dance the sirtaki. You might even leap out of the bath, running through the streets shouting "Eureka!" which translates to, “Look at this enormous gold vein I’ve discovered!”
Ohm’s Law
When you inhale, chant “Ohm.” When you exhale, chant “Ohm.” Your mantra is Ohm, and sharing it with others breaks Ohm’s Law. This could lead to a reincarnation as either a toadstool or a member of The Young Republicans.
Relativity, Part 2
Yes, marrying your second cousin is permissible… but posting pictures on Instagram? Let’s avoid that. As for the term “removed,” your first cousin once removed refers to the child or parent of your first cousin. So, when at a family reunion and someone starts explaining “You’re Ethelred’s fourth cousin twice removed,” just nod knowingly before giving them a playful gesture.

Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Originally stating that “the total energy radiated from a black body is equal to the fourth power of its absolute temperature,” this law has been humorously revised to reflect modern sensibilities.
Relativity, Part C
No, you can’t marry your first cousin once removed either. Move along!
Theory of Multiverses
We all inhabit a shared universe, except for Kanye West, who enjoys his own personal universe filled with rainbows and shiny objects. Similarly, Marjorie Taylor Greene exists in a universe resembling Mordor, minus the amusement parks.
String Theory
String theory claims to replace point-like particles with one-dimensional strings. My own book humorously states, “String theory is confusing, so let’s just discuss the Dallas Cowboys instead.” So, no need to fret about strings; they only exist in Kanye’s realm.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
This law posits that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This explains why one corner of your fitted sheet pops off when you finally manage to secure the fourth corner. Just accept it—it’s science!
Relativity Part IV
If your identical twin travels at near light-speed to a distant star and returns, relativity suggests that he will be quite the sensation at gatherings. Yes, he’ll be younger than you, but who’s really counting? Shout out to Al Einstein for clarifying this delightful mess.
Editor’s Note: We intended for this writer to elaborate on Schrödinger’s Cat, but he declined, claiming to have ailurophobia. Right. With over 10 billion cat pictures online, I’m sure he’d love to see them—if only they were sent his way.
