So physicists have finally discovered what Disney's lawyers have known for decades - the perfect shape for redirecting unwanted forces is Mickey Mouse's head! These researchers created a magnetic "cloaking device" that shields electronics from disruptive fields, and somehow landed on the most copyright-protected silhouette in history. I'm sure the University of Leicester has already received a cease and desist letter demanding 75% of all future scientific applications. Next up: superconducting Goofy-shaped circuits that somehow solve quantum gravity while simultaneously extending Disney's copyright another 20 years.

The evolution of atomic theory, as explained by cookies. From Dalton's solid sphere to Thomson's "plum pudding" chocolate chip, then Rutherford's nuclear model with its fancy decorative swirls, and finally Bohr's planetary model with concentric rings. Turns out physicists were just hungry the whole time. Next breakthrough in quantum mechanics expected after someone brings donuts to the lab.

Thermal imaging reveals what physicists have suspected all along—cat excrement defies the laws of thermodynamics. Fresh feline output somehow maintaining a scorching 42.9°C while the cat itself remains a modest 29.1°C. Either this cat has developed some kind of biological nuclear fusion reactor in its digestive tract, or we're witnessing the next renewable energy source. Graduate students are already drafting grant proposals for "Fecal Thermal Anomaly Studies."

The joke here is brilliant! The image shows a heavily redacted document claiming to have proof that string theory makes concrete predictions different from the Standard Model. String theory has been notoriously difficult to test experimentally because it typically requires energies far beyond what our current technology can achieve. The redaction is the punchline - implying that whenever someone claims to have finally found testable predictions from string theory, mysteriously all the actual details get censored or disappear. It's the theoretical physics equivalent of saying "I have a girlfriend, but she goes to another school." Physicists have been waiting decades for string theory to make contact with experimental reality!

The duality of physics enthusiasm is real! Top panel: falling asleep during structured physics class with textbooks that somehow make quantum mechanics more boring than watching paint dry. Bottom panel: the same person at 3 AM, frantically connecting red strings between sticky notes, convinced they've discovered how to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity while chugging their fifth energy drink. The transformation from classroom zombie to backyard Einstein is the scientific equivalent of "don't talk to me before my coffee vs. after."
