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

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.
