Fandom Memes

The duality of sci-fi fans. Excited for new content but ready to dissect every scientific inaccuracy with surgical precision. Sound in space? Physically impossible due to vacuum conditions. Yet we'll still watch 47 episodes in one weekend while muttering corrections under our breath. It's not pedantry—it's a lifestyle.

The physics fandom is having a moment of self-reflection. Owning every Hawking, Kaku, and Sagan book doesn't automatically grant you immunity from the "less intelligent" category if you're treating these physicists like rock stars instead of actually understanding their work. That uncomfortable silence you hear? That's thousands of science enthusiasts quietly checking their bookshelves and questioning if they bought those quantum physics books for the right reasons. Nothing says "I'm intellectually superior" quite like using famous physicists as personality traits while completely missing the irony.

Physics nerds losing their minds over Einstein in Nolan's Oppenheimer is peak academic fandom. Just imagine the collective gasp if Einstein suddenly went full Marvel-style with "E=mc² time, baby!" Complete with dramatic music and slow-motion chalk dust. The tweet calling it "avengers endgame for physicists" is painfully accurate—where else would you find people this excited about a theoretical physicist making a cameo? Only in science would we treat equations like epic plot twists.
