Congress Memes

When you spend decades searching for the Higgs boson but Congress only cares about the stock market... Welcome to physics funding in a nutshell! The meme perfectly captures that awkward moment when particle physicists try to explain groundbreaking discoveries that help us understand the fundamental nature of reality, only to be interrupted by someone who thinks the Dow Jones Industrial Average is more important than unraveling the mysteries of the universe. Because clearly, understanding the building blocks of all matter is less impressive than numbers going up on Wall Street. Priorities, people!
