The Chosen Sun Has Chosen Violence

The spectacular failure of physics understanding here is just *chef's kiss*. The post completely ignores that Saturn's rings exist because of the planet's massive gravitational field PLUS being outside the Roche limit (the distance where tidal forces prevent particles from coalescing into larger bodies). Humans don't have nearly enough mass to create a gravitational field strong enough to sustain orbiting particles. If we did, we'd have bigger problems than dirt rings—like collapsing into black holes during holiday dinner. The irony of an account called "Science Buster" demonstrating zero understanding of basic orbital mechanics is the gravitational pull my sense of humor needed today.

Remember that childhood moment of pure astronomical wonder when you spotted the moon during daylight hours? That mix of confusion and cosmic revelation hits different at age 5. The moon, just hanging there, breaking all the rules you thought you understood about the universe. "But... night time is when moon comes out?" Your tiny brain trying to process that celestial bodies don't actually clock out after their shifts.

Dark matter detectors are basically the world's most expensive ghost hunters! 👻 Scientists have built dozens of ultra-sensitive detectors deep underground, published countless papers, and yet... *crickets* from the elusive dark matter particles! The awkward moment when your colleague asks if you've actually detected anything after your fancy publication is scientific heartbreak in 4K resolution. It's like throwing the universe's biggest party and nobody shows up! Meanwhile, funding agencies are like "Here's another $50 million, maybe THIS time you'll catch something!" 🔭💸

This meme perfectly captures humanity's selective attention to existential threats! Mr. Krabs represents society calmly sitting through news of asteroid impacts and climate catastrophe, but absolutely losing it over a solar flare potentially disrupting internet access. Fun fact: Solar flares CAN actually disrupt radio communications and electrical grids! When the sun ejects coronal mass ejections (CMEs), these plasma clouds interact with Earth's magnetosphere, potentially causing geomagnetic storms. The 1859 Carrington Event was so powerful it caused telegraph systems to catch fire - imagine what it would do to our precious Wi-Fi! But seriously, we'll ignore planet-ending asteroids and catastrophic climate change, but threaten our ability to doomscroll? That's when society panics!

That tiny speck labeled "2024 YR4" is an asteroid NASA's tracking, and the title "At This Point I Would Welcome It" is peak millennial/Gen-Z nihilism. Looking at a potential extinction-level event and thinking "finally, a solution to my student loans!" After decades of teaching undergrads, I'm not entirely unsympathetic. Nothing says "I'm done with this experiment" like a cosmic reset button. The dinosaurs never had to grade papers or attend faculty meetings, so maybe they were the lucky ones.

Einstein really said "I need to stabilize this universe real quick" and invented a whole cosmological constant to keep his equations from predicting cosmic expansion. Then Hubble comes along with his telescope and proves the universe IS expanding, making Einstein call it his "greatest blunder." The Mona Lisa with those cool shades is basically Einstein trying to look unbothered while secretly panicking that his math was wrong. That sparkly hand wave? Just casually adding a fudge factor to the fundamental equations of spacetime. No big deal.
