Blackbody Memes

When gaming meets physics in the most unexpected way! The top image shows a Minecraft iceberg biome, while the bottom shows a blackbody radiation curve that—surprise—actually resembles the jagged ice formation! Blackbody radiation describes how objects emit electromagnetic radiation based on their temperature, with hotter objects (like that 6000K curve) peaking at bluer wavelengths and cooler objects (4000K) showing more red. Minecraft's blocky ice formation accidentally mimics this fundamental physics concept that describes everything from stars to light bulbs. The universe really is built on blocks, just not usually this obvious!
