Funny and/or scientific limmericks

The following is about special relativity, which I did not make up myself:

There once was a lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light
She set off one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night

The following is about the time period of a pendulum, which I did not make up myself:

When a pendulum's swinging quite free
It's always a marvel to me
That each tick plus each tock
Of the grandfather clock
Equals 2 pi root l over g

And the following is about an alien. The first two lines come from Star Trek, the rest I made up myself:

There was was a young lady from Venus
Who's body was shaped like a penis
She decided one day
To go on holiday
And set off on a trip to Uranus

If you will allow me to edit your limerick into a slightly ruder version:

There was was a young lady from Venus
Who's body was shaped like a penis
On one holiday
She quite lost her way
And ended up stuck in Uranus
Miss Farad was pretty and sensual
And charged to a reckless potential;
But a rascal named Ohm
Conducted her home -
Her decline was, alas, exponential.

:rofl:
There once was a girl named Irene,
who lived on distilled kerosene.
But she started absorbin'
A new hydrocarbon,
And since then has never benzene!
:lol:

there was a young lady called Jenna
who drew masterpieces with henna;
her homage to Manet
which went down to her fanet
was open to view for a tenna
There was one Feyn man
Who guessed the end was at Z=137
But his calculations did not pan
despite this he still made it to heaven :dontknow:

a phlogiston fan name of Priestley
found Monsieur Lavoisier beastley;
with true Yorkshire grit
he said "vous parlez ****"
and "Oxygen's never released, see ?"
Mendel did work that was clerical
His ideas were considered heretical
But his studies of peas
Are correct now, we sees
The reason, of course, was genetical


Whilst sailing around on the Beagle
Charles Darwin clapped eyes on an Eagle;
He said "it's a cinch
"this bird once was a finch
"or maybe a tit or a seagull"

There was a young fellow called Hawking
Whose capacities fell short of walking
But his mind remained quizzical
on points metaphysical
And technology aided his

how newton watches an apple
helped the english to win some battles
he said f is ma
and as night follows day
so too day follows that rascal


By decoding the Boche information
Mr Turing delivered the nation
But his penchant for cock
saw him up in the dock
forced to choose between gaol and castration


Two fellows who made calculations
were proclaimed 'first' by rivalrous nations
But the Englishman Newton
hat raised to the teuton
said 'differences make integrations'
More philosophy than science (and not original):

There was a young man who said "Damn!"
It grieves me to think that I am
Predestined to move
In a circumscribed groove:
In fact, not a bus, but a tram.
Schrödinger's cat had a mission
To understand superposition
So did he survive?
Was he dead and alive?
It depended on nuclear fission
