Damn It, Physics Strikes Again

Damn It, Physics Strikes Again
Every electrical engineer's nightmare! You're desperately trying to increase the induction in your circuit, but BOOM—the coil's self-inductance says "Not today, mortal!" 🤓⚡ It's like trying to fill a cup that keeps growing bigger! Self-inductance is that annoying phenomenon where a coil creates its own magnetic field that opposes changes in current. The universe's way of saying "you can't just have unlimited power, muhahaha!" The eternal electromagnetic tug-of-war continues!

Science Or Sorcery: Physics' Identity Crisis

Science Or Sorcery: Physics' Identity Crisis
Physics is just trying so hard to convince everyone it's a legitimate science and not wizardry in disguise. Sure, you've got your "radioactive isotopes" (definitely not enchanted death rocks), "electromagnetic levitation" (not magical floating spells), and "vector calculus" (absolutely not arcane runes). The desperate "THEY ARE NOT RUNES SHUT UP" has the same energy as someone caught wearing a wizard hat insisting it's "just a fancy sun protector." The Cherenkov radiation glow? Totally scientific and not souls being harvested. That lab equipment? Just standard chemistry apparatus, not demon summoning paraphernalia at all! The cognitive dissonance of physicists is delightful - using incomprehensible symbols to explain invisible forces while frantically denying any similarity to the occult.

Fleming's Right Hand Rule explained by a cartoon teenager making a gun shape with his hand. The rule determines how current, magnetic field, and motion interact in electromagnetism. Physics students spend years mastering this, but apparently all we needed was a nervous kid gesturing dramatically. Next semester I'll just show Rick and Morty instead of writing 40 equations on the board. Would probably improve my teaching evaluations.

I Have All Of You "Physicists" On My Radar

I Have All Of You "Physicists" On My Radar
The desperate plea from physics departments everywhere! 😂 This meme absolutely nails how physics sometimes looks like witchcraft to outsiders. Sure, we've got glowing uranium that could "level cities" (but it's NOT magic, we swear!), mysterious equations that definitely aren't mystical runes (stop saying that!), and yes, that apple is floating because of MAGNETS not levitation spells! The best part is the increasingly defensive tone as it goes on - from politely explaining radioactive isotopes to the final "what the f***" blue glow experiment where even physicists are questioning their life choices. Physics: where we're one lab accident away from being mistaken for wizards!

The Hand Gymnastics Of Electromagnetism

The Hand Gymnastics Of Electromagnetism
Nothing quite captures the existential crisis of a physics student like desperately contorting your fingers into pretzels trying to figure out which way the magnetic field goes. Is it thumbs up? Wait, no—curl your fingers? Or was it point with your index finger? The right-hand rule is physics' way of saying "yeah, we could've just used a diagram, but making you look ridiculous in public seemed more fun." The number of physics exams failed because someone used their left hand by mistake is probably statistically significant.
