When you discover that your code is not giving the right results, not because there is any bug in your program, but because there is a bug in the theory on which it is based.
Theoretical bugs are rare but more common than thought. When you find one, your perception of the world improves quantically.
A more day to day example, it is when you realize something you never saw before, not because it was not there, but because your mental model of the world didn't include it.

case 1
JC: I've been trying to find the bug in this program all night, but its looks perfect. Don't know why sometimes is producing weird results.
Guru: Its time to chase some Theoretical bugs.
case 2:
Linux_user: The problem with microsoft is not that they produced bad programs, but they copypasted so much software from other people, that the outcome was a walking Theoretical bug. At some much extent that, when it crashed it means it was really working.

Get the Kalejs Theorem mug.The Theoretical Plate Standard (TPS) is the certified bro measurement of bigness. Also known as the 1234, such an achievement requires a 1 plate press, 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat, and 4 plate deadlift. Brothers who can certifiably complete this challenge, are defined by bros around him as "the big guy." lifting weights science
It's been two years since I've been counting my macros and I still haven't reached the theoretical plate standard; I might need to go on gear.

Get the The Theoretical Plate Standard mug.A mathematical and scientific hypothesis that proves any statement true using only the words "Common Sense".
"Given- Equilateral Triangle ABC has an area of 5 a height of 5, and a side length of x.
Prove- Triangle ABC has a perimeter of 3.
Step 1- Perimeter = 3
Reason- Common Sense Theorem"
While the above statement is impossible, the common sense proves it true.

Get the Common Sense Theorem mug.The life source of Silent Hill fanboys everywhere. They have people fighting about the true ending and stuff like that.
Fanboy 1: Dude i just finished Silent Hill 2 last night!!
Fanboy 2:Did you figure out the ending? I think it was the suicide ending because of all the water in the game!
Fandboy 3 : No! It is the Alien ending because James' jacket is green!
Fanboy 1 shoots Fanboy 2.
Fanboy 3: Silent Hill 2 theories are the best!
Fanboy 2:Did you figure out the ending? I think it was the suicide ending because of all the water in the game!
Fandboy 3 : No! It is the Alien ending because James' jacket is green!
Fanboy 1 shoots Fanboy 2.

Get the Silent Hill 2 theories mug.The Act of devising, testing, experimenting and proving a theory or theories to explain facts or phenomena of the observable universe. one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena. The use of scientific methodology to acquire a greater understanding of reality and existence.
People who know and understand, through experimentation and observation, any scientific theories; evolution, gravity, the big bang, black holes, m-theory or density all practice theorism.

Get the theorism mug.The emotional pattern that Nicolas Cage goes through in every movie he's in.
Firstly, Nicolas Cage is in a happy/placid state.
Then, something happens to Nicolas Cage that causes a short stage of confusion. This is key to the next stage.
Finally, Nicolas Cage becomes filled with anger at the confusion he experiences.
Rinse and repeat. In every movie.

KNOWING (2009) A prime example of the 'Cage Rage Theorem'
Nicolas Cage is happy. (Stage one)
Nicolas Cage finds sheet of numbers, becomes confused. (Stage two)
Nicolas Cage throws everything on the floor, in a fit of anger and confusion at the numbers. (Stage 3)
