The stereotype: wild-haired genius who revolutionizes science. The reality: neurodivergent folks who hyperfocus on quantum mechanics instead of small talk. Truth is, physics doesn't attract people who want to be Einstein—it attracts people who'd rather calculate the aerodynamic properties of a flying pig than make eye contact at parties.

Newton didn't discover gravity because he was socially well-adjusted; he discovered it because he couldn't stop thinking about falling apples while everyone else was busy having normal conversations.
