Who TF Is Gibbs And Why Is He Giving Away Free Energy?

Behold, the ferromagnetic personality disorder! In the top image, iron atoms are just chilling, doing their own thing with a few random redheads scattered about. But slap on a magnetic field and suddenly everyone's facing the same direction like freshmen at orientation. This is what happens when atoms succumb to peer pressure - complete conformity. It's basically the high school cafeteria of the periodic table. Those iron electrons didn't spend billions of years evolving just to line up like they're waiting for the bathroom at a Taylor Swift concert.

Quantum mechanics in a nutshell. Electrons exist in a probability cloud where they're simultaneously everywhere and nowhere until observed. Try pinpointing an electron and it's like playing hide-and-seek with a toddler who keeps changing hiding spots. Heisenberg would appreciate this tape's commitment to position uncertainty. At least the tape is honest about its existential crisis.

The ultimate scientific dependency chart! Math is the mother cat nursing all these specialized fields that desperately cling to her for survival. Those tiny kittens (physics, chemistry, astrophysics, economics, computer science, and theoretical biology) can't function without their mathematical mama. The hierarchy is hilariously accurate - try doing quantum mechanics without differential equations or computational modeling without algorithms. It's like watching baby scientists try to solve problems without their mathematical bottle. Next time someone asks "when will I ever use this math?" just show them this picture of desperate scientific disciplines literally feeding off mathematical teats.

Chemistry's most dapper molecule showing up to electron-sharing parties with a top hat and monocle. The positive charges are like, "We donated electrons and got dressed up," while the negative charge is all, "I hoarded electrons and still managed to look fancy." Basically what happens when atoms decide to be bougie about their electron distribution. Electronegativity has never been so classy.

The reality of online organic chemistry classes hits different. Five identical images of a student staring intensely at their laptop, supposedly mastering complex reaction mechanisms... then the truth drops in the final panel: just drawing hexagons. Literally just hexagons. The universal experience of pretending to understand stereochemistry while secretly drawing the only molecular shape you remember from high school. Those benzene rings aren't going to draw themselves, and neither is your understanding of nucleophilic substitution reactions.

The atomic model went through more identity crises than a teenager with Instagram. First Dalton was like "atoms are solid balls" (1803). Then Thomson crashed the party with "actually they're plum puddings with electrons" (1897). Rutherford showed up and said "nah, it's a nucleus with orbiting electrons" (1911). Bohr strutted in with "electrons only orbit at specific energy levels" (1913). And just when everyone thought they had it figured out, quantum mechanics barged in screaming "ELECTRONS ARE PROBABILITY CLOUDS!" Scientists basically reinvented the atom every 5 years like it was the iPhone. No wonder the poor atom has trust issues.
