I Majored In Everything, And Finished In 4 Years

I Majored In Everything, And Finished In 4 Years
Hollywood's favorite apocalypse survival hack: just grab an engineer! Suddenly, this one dude knows how to rewire nuclear facilities, build bridges, design spacecraft, and perform brain surgery. Because obviously engineering degrees come in variety packs! The most unrealistic part of post-apocalyptic fiction isn't the zombies—it's the engineer who somehow mastered 12 different specialties while the rest of us were struggling to pass Calculus I. Next time civilization collapses, I'm finding this mythical poly-engineer who can apparently fix everything from broken power grids to broken bones with nothing but duct tape and optimism.

When Fantasy Novels Break The Laws Of Physics

When Fantasy Novels Break The Laws Of Physics
That internal screaming moment when you're enjoying a fantasy novel until someone travels faster than light or watches events unfold in real-time across interstellar distances. Einstein is rolling in his grave! Special relativity sets a cosmic speed limit that even magic shouldn't casually ignore. Nothing makes a physicist lose immersion faster than characters chatting across galaxies without communication delays or spaceships zipping between star systems for weekend getaways. Sure, it's fantasy, but would it kill authors to sprinkle in a tiny bit of relativistic consistency? My suspension of disbelief can handle dragons, but apparently draws the line at breaking fundamental physics.

Breaking Newton's Laws

Breaking Newton's Laws
The ultimate act of scientific rebellion! Moving physics books to fiction is like telling gravity, "You're not the boss of me!" That's why our prankster is floating away—Newton's rolling in his grave while this maverick defies the laws of physics by... *checks notes*... literally defying the laws of physics! The library classification system wasn't ready for this level of chaos theory. Next week: putting astronomy books under "creative writing" and watching the stars rearrange themselves!

Let N Be A Complex Number

Let N Be A Complex Number
The mathematician's pickup line has infiltrated fiction! When mathematicians see "After the nth pause," they don't see a dramatic moment in a novel—they see a variable begging to be defined! In math, "n" represents any number, so the character Rose could be breaking the ice after the 1st, 2nd, or 87,942nd pause. Talk about keeping your options open! Complex numbers (with their real and imaginary parts) are just like this awkward conversation—partly real, partly imaginary, and completely irrational when it comes to romance! 💫

The Universal Treaty Of Physics Denial

The Universal Treaty Of Physics Denial
The sacred alliance between anime and action movies - united in their mutual disdain for Sir Isaac Newton's party-pooping laws! Nothing says "entertainment" like watching a 90-pound character punch someone through seventeen concrete walls or defying gravity for what feels like three business days during a single jump. Physics majors watching these scenes are either having aneurysms or furiously scribbling calculations to prove why that sword slash would've actually split the moon in half. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just enjoying the completely realistic scenario of someone surviving a 300-foot fall because they landed in 2 inches of water.

The Real Star Destroyer

The Real Star Destroyer
This meme brilliantly juxtaposes fictional Star Destroyers from Star Wars with an actual stellar explosion! The top panels show Imperial Star Destroyer spacecraft, but the punchline delivers a supernova - the most spectacular stellar death in the universe. When massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they collapse under gravity and explode with energy equivalent to 10^44 joules - enough to briefly outshine entire galaxies! Talk about putting the "destroy" in Star Destroyer. Fictional spaceships might look intimidating, but nothing in science fiction compares to the raw power of astrophysics in action. Nature's special effects budget is literally astronomical.
