Alternate-history Memes

The entire field of physics hinges on that fateful apple bonking Newton on the head! If he'd been snoozing under a coconut tree instead, we'd have a much thinner textbook—and possibly no Newton. The meme brilliantly illustrates how our scientific understanding could've been drastically different with one geographic change. Imagine the alternate universe where "F = ma" never happened because Newton got concussed by a falling coconut before writing anything down. Physics students everywhere would be celebrating that timeline!
