Had To Go (To The Lab)

The Cinderella we never knew was secretly a chemist! While Prince Charming begs her to stay at the ball, she's got more pressing matters—an exothermic reaction waiting to be quenched back at the lab. For chemistry nerds, "quenching" is actually the process of stopping a chemical reaction by rapidly cooling it or adding a neutralizing agent. Without proper quenching, some reactions can become dangerously unstable or produce unwanted byproducts. Clearly, Cinderella's scientific priorities trump royal romance. Her glass slippers were probably just lab safety violations waiting to happen anyway!

When Fairy Tales Meet Classical Mechanics

The fairy tale meets Newton's laws of motion in spectacular fashion! This meme brilliantly applies physics to Rapunzel's hair situation with a free body diagram showing what happens when her center of mass shifts as her hair extends. As her lengthy locks grow outward, the moment arm increases, creating a torque that eventually causes her to catapult out of the tower at high velocity. The prince's shocked face as he witnesses his rescue attempt turn into a human ballistic missile is priceless. Conservation of angular momentum waits for no fairy tale princess!
