Conservation of momentum Memes

Newton's executive desk toy got an upgrade. Those metal spheres are demonstrating conservation of momentum with the elegance of a ballet dancer who's also trying to explain physics to first-years. The real experiment here is seeing how long your colleagues can resist playing with it when you step out for coffee. Spoiler: approximately 7 seconds.

Childhood physics debates are where true scientific innovation begins. This masterpiece explores the classic "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" fallacy that every physicist has contemplated at age 8. The stick figure's flawless plan to defeat Newton's Third Law involves standing on a plank, lifting said plank, and achieving flight through sheer logical oversight. Conservation of momentum sends its regards. Somewhere, a physics professor is using this as an exam question while muttering "this is why we can't have nice things."
