Work Done Is Independent Of Path In The Absence Of Non-Conservative Forces

Work Done Is Independent Of Path In The Absence Of Non-Conservative Forces
The ancient Egyptians had physics figured out WAY before Newton! This satirical Onion headline brilliantly plays on the eternal debate about pyramid construction techniques while throwing in the "aliens did it" conspiracy theory for good measure. The title is pure physics gold - conservation of energy means the work required to move those massive blocks doesn't depend on the path taken (assuming no friction). Whether you're dragging stones up a ramp or using fancy alien technology, physics demands the same energy payment! Meanwhile, archaeologists everywhere are facepalming at the "aliens" explanation. Those little stick figures with light bulbs for heads? Definitely not suspicious at all... 👽

Conservation Of Energy Is Not Real, Boys

Conservation Of Energy Is Not Real, Boys
Physics professors: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed." Meanwhile, ChatGPT's servers vaporizing 1000 liters of cooling water into the void dimension every time you ask it to explain why your crush isn't texting back. The First Law of AI Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy applies to everything except data centers, which convert electricity directly into existential dread and slightly warmer oceans.

The Thermodynamic Awakening: From Childhood Fantasy To Engineering Reality

The Thermodynamic Awakening: From Childhood Fantasy To Engineering Reality
The childhood-to-engineer pipeline perfectly captured in thermodynamic reality. Most of us grew up imagining air conditioners as magical cold-producing machines (cue Mr. Freeze character), only to have our dreams crushed by the laws of physics in engineering school. Turns out ACs don't create cold—they just relocate heat like an overworked postal worker transferring packages from one facility to another. The Patrick Star revelation is basically first-year thermodynamics distilled to its essence: "Why don't we take the heat and push it somewhere else!" Which is, embarrassingly, exactly how air conditioning works. Conservation of energy strikes again, destroying childhood magic one HVAC system at a time.

The Cosmic Accounting Error

The Cosmic Accounting Error
That moment when a random kid dismantles one of physics' most fundamental principles with a single question! The conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just transformed—which is all fine and dandy until someone asks where it ALL came from in the first place. Physicists have been sweating over this cosmic accounting error since the Big Bang. The universe's initial energy budget? Still pending review after 13.8 billion years. Turns out sometimes the simplest questions are the ones that make distinguished professors suddenly need to "check their email."
