The eternal rivalry between theoretical and practical approaches captured in one image! The top shows a fork precariously balanced on a glass - representing the "pure science" approach where we're satisfied with proving something works under ideal conditions. Meanwhile, the engineering solution below says "hold my duct tape" and just fixes the problem with brute force practicality. No elegant equations needed when you have adhesives! This perfectly encapsulates why physicists calculate the aerodynamics of a cow while engineers just build a fence to keep it contained.
