This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a couple whose groundbreaking research has brought harmony to bedrooms around the world. John and Emily Hartley, both physicists, have dedicated their careers to resolving a universal domestic dispute: the ideal bedroom temperature.
John, a large, hairy, disgusting man, likes the room nearly 40 degrees cooler than his petite, impish, temperature-sensitive counterpart, Emily. Their research, spanning decades and involving meticulous experiments and surveys, has yielded a precise formula that defines the perfect temperature for a restful night’s sleep. The Hartleys’ work takes into account individual preferences, body types, and climate variations, making it applicable globally. The Hartleys’ formula even takes into account additional heat created by the weekly ebb and flow of John’s gaseous nocturnal emissions based on particular dinner preparations.
Their discovery has not only enhanced the quality of life for countless couples but has also significantly reduced energy consumption by optimizing heating and cooling systems in homes worldwide.
The Nobel Committee commends the Hartleys for their dedication to improving the daily lives of people and addressing a common source of household tension. Their award serves as a reminder that science can profoundly impact even the most ordinary aspects of our lives.
