Different Types Of "New" In Science

Different Types Of "New" In Science
The scientific community's standards for "new discoveries" are apparently... flexible. 🧪 Physics: Got a blurry video of your cat toy vibrating? Congratulations, you've discovered the "quantum fuzzball particle" that will revolutionize string theory! Chemistry: Drew some random circles and lines? That's definitely a groundbreaking molecule that will either cure cancer or make really good shampoo. Nobody knows! Biology: Found a weird noodle in your backyard? Time to name it Vermis exgirlfriendus and submit to Nature! Mathematics: Who needs rigorous proof when you have a million kids with TikTok accounts demanding "squillion" be recognized? Democracy wins over mathematical convention!

The Different Types Of "New" In Science

The Different Types Of "New" In Science
Scientific breakthroughs aren't what they used to be! 🤪 Physics: Discovering new particles via TikTok dances instead of billion-dollar accelerators? That's budget science at its finest! Next up: quantum entanglement explained through interpretive dance. Chemistry: "It looks complex and probably does something cool" is literally how I described my entire lab report in college. Spoiler: it was just water with food coloring. Biology: Nothing says scientific professionalism like naming a parasite after your ex but making it sound fancy with Latin. "Introducing Toxoplasma Jerkfacium!" Mathematics: Who needs peer review when you have a squillion children with a petition? Finally, a number system even I can understand!

The Great Infinity War Of 2025

The Great Infinity War Of 2025
Just your typical mathematician refusing to join the infinity assassination plot. The ultrafinitists are coming for those pesky large numbers, claiming they're holding back science. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to divide by zero in peace. The date says 2025 too—apparently the war on infinity is scheduled right after we figure out how to fold fitted sheets.

Due To Insistent Public Demand...

Due To Insistent Public Demand...
Chemistry without mathematics? That's like trying to bake a soufflé without heat. Sure, you can mix the ingredients and call it something fancy, but good luck getting it to rise! This mythical textbook is what every freshman dreams of until they realize those equations are actually saving them from memorizing 10,000 random reactions. Next in the series: "Physics Without Reality" and "Organic Chemistry Without Tears" (spoiler: that one's just blank pages).

Fundamental Theorem Of Naming Theorems

Fundamental Theorem Of Naming Theorems
Mathematicians really said "Let's slap 'Fundamental Theorem' on everything so people know we're serious." It's like the academic equivalent of putting "Supreme" on a t-shirt and charging $500 for it. Every math field desperately needs that one theorem with the fancy "Fundamental" label – otherwise how would anyone know it's legit? Next up: the Fundamental Theorem of Naming Things Fundamental When They're Really Just Regular Theorems That Got Good PR.

Stop Doing Physics (Before Reality Gets Any Weirder)

Stop Doing Physics (Before Reality Gets Any Weirder)
Theoretical physicists have been pranking humanity for decades! The meme brilliantly satirizes how physics has evolved into this bizarre realm where particles aren't supposed to be observed (hello, quantum mechanics!), and equations have gone from "hmm, interesting" to "what in the multiverse is THAT?!" That Schrödinger equation thrown casually into a conversation about throwing a ball? Pure gold! It's like saying "Nice haircut, Jim! By the way, here's the complete works of Shakespeare in original Klingon." The bottom images with their orbital diagrams and wave functions are basically physicists saying "Trust us, this explains everything!" while the rest of us stare blankly at what looks like abstract art created by a caffeinated octopus. Next time a physicist tries to explain reality, just remember they're the same people who invented "experimental conjectures" as a fancy way of saying "wild guesses."

Just Solved A Millennium Problem And All I Needed Was My Notes App

Just Solved A Millennium Problem And All I Needed Was My Notes App
Behold, the million-dollar P vs NP problem solved on a Notes app! Nothing says "mathematical breakthrough" like canceling out variables until you get "equals = N ○" and concluding "The answer is No." This is what happens when you let computer scientists do math after their third espresso. The Clay Mathematics Institute is frantically trying to figure out how to transfer that $1,000,000 prize to a Notes app account. Meanwhile, cryptographers worldwide just breathed a collective sigh of relief that their encryption isn't broken by this groundbreaking "proof."

When Simple Geometry Meets Mathematical Sadism

When Simple Geometry Meets Mathematical Sadism
Nothing says "I'm a mathematician" quite like turning a simple square definition into a cosmic horror of equations. That elegant monstrosity—π + √(π²+1) - 1—is what happens when mathematicians get bored. It's like watching someone build a rocket ship to cross the street. The irony is delicious: describing a kindergarten shape with calculus-level complexity. Next time someone asks you to draw a square, just hand them this diagram and watch their soul leave their body.
