Colliders Memes

The eternal physicist's pipe dream: "Trust me, SU(37) will fix everything !" Theoretical physicists have been chasing the elusive Grand Unified Theory for decades, each time swearing that a bigger, more complex Lie group will finally explain all fundamental forces. Meanwhile, they're casually requesting billions for colliders that would need to encircle entire countries. The beautiful symmetry visualization is hypnotic, but so is watching research funding disappear into increasingly abstract mathematics that's always just about to revolutionize physics. Forty years later, we're still waiting for that breakthrough that's supposedly right around the corner... if we just build one more massive machine.

Future physicists are still stuck in the same loop we've been in for decades! While we've discovered the Higgs boson, the graviton—the theoretical particle that mediates gravity—remains stubbornly elusive. So here we are in 2089, with our fancy headsets and advanced colliders, getting excited about made-up particles with ridiculous names like "gloopy-gloorb" while the graviton continues to ghost us. Meanwhile, the guy on the left is having what appears to be a religious experience over these nonsensical discoveries. Particle physics in a nutshell: spend billions on equipment, make up funny names for things, and fall asleep during the presentations about them.
