Alphabet Memes

Ever stared at a physics textbook wondering if it's written in alien hieroglyphics? The chart shows how our modern alphabet evolved from Proto-Sinaitic through Phoenician, Ancient Greek, and Roman scripts—but physics equations seem to have preserved every single extinct symbol! Physics professors be like: "This simple equation uses only 17 Greek letters, 4 Hebrew characters, and whatever this squiggle is that I just invented." Meanwhile, students frantically search their keyboards for Ω, ψ, and θ while questioning their life choices. The true universal language isn't math—it's the collective confusion of students wondering why we couldn't just stick with the 26 perfectly good letters we already had.

The numerical conspiracy theory that's actually mathematically sound! This meme assigns each letter of the alphabet a position number (A=1, B=2, etc.) and calculates the percentage values of different words. While "KNOWLEDGE" (96%) and "HARDWORK" (98%) fall just short of perfection, "ATTITUDE" hits that sweet 100%! But wait—the true overachievers are the dark arts: "LAZINESS" (105%), "NEGATIVITY" (132%), "PROCRASTINATION" (192%), and the grand champion "SELLING YOUR SOUL TO SATAN" with a devilishly appropriate 314%! The real math lesson here? Apparently, the path to maximum efficiency is either perfect attitude or demonic bargaining. No wonder grad students look so tired.

The tiny sliver for actual Greeks is killing me! From α to ω, mathematicians and physicists have colonized the Greek alphabet so thoroughly that poor Greeks barely get to use their own letters anymore. Every equation looks like it's having an identity crisis - "Am I calculating fluid dynamics or just ordering a gyro?" Meanwhile, engineering students are frantically googling "how to pronounce χ" before presentations. The real question is whether Greeks feel proud or slightly annoyed that their alphabet has become the universal language of "look how smart I am."
