Euclid Memes

How Do You End Your Proof?

21 days ago 4.2K views 0 shares

Math nerds, unite! This meme perfectly captures the evolution of mathematical sophistication. Starting with the classic "Q.E.D" (quod erat demonstrandum - "that which was to be shown"), moving to the empty box symbol, then the filled black box, and finally... "Q.E.F" (quod erat faciendum - "that which was to be done"). That last panel with the maniacal grin is every mathematician who's ever flexed by using the ultra-rare Q.E.F instead of Q.E.D to end their proof. It's basically the mathematical equivalent of dropping the mic!

Euclid's Mind-Blowing Tautology

Behold, the moment Euclid had his earth-shattering revelation that identical things are... wait for it... identical! The face of a man whose mind is absolutely blown by the most circular of logical reasoning. It's like discovering water is wet and then writing a 13-volume treatise about it. To be fair, ancient Greek mathematicians had to start somewhere—might as well begin with "things that are the same are the same." Revolutionary stuff! Next week: Pythagoras discovers that square things are square-shaped.

Time Machine Priorities

The eternal struggle of mathematicians! While regular folks would use a time machine for sentimental family reunions, mathematicians are out here solving the REAL problems—handing ancient Greek geometry proofs to Euclid and presumably cursing in Greek at each other. That portal in the corner? Just casual time-space manipulation to grab another mathematician for peer review. The reference to "20 Min Adventure" makes it even better—as if popping back thousands of years to revolutionize mathematics would be a quick errand. Because nothing says "efficient use of groundbreaking technology" like settling centuries-old mathematical debates instead of, you know, witnessing dinosaurs or something practical.

Mathematical Pronunciation Rage

Nothing triggers a math nerd faster than hearing "Oiclid" and "Youler" at a party. Suddenly the most mild-mannered professor transforms into a geometry vigilante ready to correct you with the fury of a thousand partial derivatives. It's like watching someone put pineapple on pizza in front of an Italian chef—pure, calculated rage. These aren't just random dead guys; they're the sacred ancestors of every theorem that's ever made a freshman cry during finals week.

The Element Of Surprise

The ultimate chemistry wordplay! "Youler and Oiclid" is a brilliant pun on "Euler and Euclid" - those legendary math/science titans - but transformed into chemical compounds! "Eu" is europium on the periodic table, so we've got "You-ler" (minus the Eu) and "Oi-clid" (Eu replaced with Oi). The person's triumphant pose against the blue sky is basically every chemist after successfully remembering all the lanthanides. The striped scarf? Clearly representing electron energy levels. Chemistry jokes - they're only funny periodically !

Standing On The Shoulders Of Geometers

Einstein's love letter to Euclidean geometry is the ultimate scientific thirst trap! The meme brilliantly captures how Einstein's revolutionary physics theories (relativity, spacetime curvature) couldn't exist without the 2300-year-old geometric foundations laid by Euclid. Those colorful non-Euclidean geometry visualizations at the bottom? That's what happens when parallel lines get frisky and actually meet! Einstein basically took Euclid's straight-line geometry, bent it into submission with gravity, and transformed our understanding of the cosmos. It's like Euclid handed Einstein the geometric Legos, and Einstein built a hyperdimensional spaceship with them. The perfect scientific bromance across millennia!

The Double Right Triangle Paradox

Euclidean geometry professors hate this one weird trick! When you connect two right triangles through interdimensional portals, suddenly the Pythagorean theorem has an existential crisis. The line segments that disappear into those portals are simultaneously present in both triangles, creating a geometric paradox that would make Euclid roll in his ancient Greek grave. Next time a student asks "when will we use this in real life?" just show them how to break mathematics with Portal physics.

The Mathematical Ascension

When you've mastered integration and geometric proofs, suddenly you're floating above mere mortals like Archimedes and Euclid! The ultimate math flex isn't publishing papers—it's becoming a transcendent being with glowing quantum equations for a face. Every undergrad who pulled an all-nighter before finals has experienced this brief moment of mathematical godhood before crashing back to reality. The ancient Greeks gave us foundations, but that one person in the study group who somehow understands both differential equations and abstract algebra? Clearly operating on another plane of existence.

Parallel Lines Meet At Paper Junction

Someone just discovered non-Euclidean geometry... on a budget! This mathematical masterpiece shows two "parallel" lines drawn on separate pieces of paper, carefully arranged to create the illusion they intersect. Euclid is rolling in his grave while Riemann is slow-clapping from the afterlife. The perfect example of "technically correct is the best kind of correct" for when your math teacher says parallel lines never meet. Just tape some graph paper together and boom—you've revolutionized geometry without even leaving your desk!

Proof By Contradiction: Medieval Math Mic Drop

Medieval mathematicians dropping the mic on proofs! The yellow-robed scholar starts with "Geometry is a scam," but then brilliantly demonstrates proof by contradiction - the backbone of mathematical reasoning. "Prove this is a triangle" followed by "Look at it. WTF else could it be?" is basically Euclid's Elements if he wrote them during a pub night. It's the mathematical equivalent of saying "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck..." except with theorems. Mathematicians have been using this savage technique since ancient Greece - assuming the opposite of what you want to prove, then showing it leads to nonsense. Pure genius wrapped in medieval sass.

Behold, the moment of mathematical redundancy that broke Euclid. Nothing like having your mind blown by discovering that things which are the same... are the same. Revolutionary stuff. The ancient Greek equivalent of writing "water is wet" in your dissertation and expecting a standing ovation. Mathematicians still pull this move today - spend six months proving something painfully obvious, then act surprised when it works.

Proof Two Parallel Lines Meet

Euclid is rolling in his grave right now! The mathematical heresy of claiming railroad tracks meet in the distance is the optical illusion that's been trolling geometrists for centuries. What we're seeing is perspective projection—where our puny human brains interpret converging sight lines as actual convergence. In reality, those tracks maintain their perfect parallel relationship to infinity, but try telling that to your eyes! It's like geometry and perception got into a bar fight, and perception is winning despite being completely wrong. Next up: I'll prove the Earth is flat by looking at the horizon!
