Cubical cat Memes

Physics professors really be out here turning complex biological organisms into geometric shapes for the sake of math. Next they'll tell us friction doesn't exist and the cow is a perfect sphere! The infamous "spherical cow in vacuum" has evolved into "cubical cat in cartoon." At least the cat seems happy with its new geometric identity crisis. Who needs nine lives when you can have six identical square faces?

Oh my goodness, this is physics problem-solving in a nutshell! 😂 Physicists are notorious for making wild simplifications to make math easier. "Assume the cow is a perfect sphere in a vacuum" is practically their motto! The cubical cat meme perfectly captures how physicists will transform anything—even a living, breathing, definitely-not-cubic feline—into a neat geometric shape just to make the equations work. The angry cube-cat's face says it all: "You did WHAT to my elegant feline form?!" Next thing you know, they'll be ignoring air resistance and saying friction doesn't exist!

Nothing captures physics education quite like turning living creatures into geometric shapes for the sake of math. "Assume the cat is cubical" sits right alongside classics like "frictionless surfaces" and "spherical cows in a vacuum." Because apparently, real-world complexity is just too much hassle when you're trying to teach fundamental principles. Next week: calculating the aerodynamics of a cat by assuming it's a perfect sphere with uniform density. The cat's angry face in the meme suggests it has strong opinions about being reduced to a simple cube. Can't blame it—I'd be upset too if someone ignored my non-Euclidean properties.
