Flat earth Memes

Welcome to the wild west of pseudoscience, where academic credentials go to die! This glorious compass maps the landscape of physics cranks by their level of creativity and potential harm. Top left: The "creative but harmful" quadrant features what appears to be someone drinking poison while wearing a name tag. Because nothing says "groundbreaking research" like ignoring basic safety protocols. Top right: Phrenology diagrams - measuring skull shapes to determine intelligence. About as scientifically valid as determining quantum states by reading tea leaves. Bottom left: The "digits have an end" conspiracy - creative but harmless. These folks probably spend weekends trying to find where the number line stops. Spoiler: it doesn't. Bottom right: "Fermat's last theorem is wrong" - the mathematical equivalent of saying "I've disproven Einstein using Excel and a flat earth model." Thirty years teaching physics and I've seen every flavor of crackpot theory. The truly special ones manage to be both completely wrong AND require a completely new branch of mathematics to disprove.

Teaching physics by trolling students with astrology and flat Earth conspiracies? Bold strategy. This teacher's worksheet starts with astrology nonsense, then transitions to "But what does science say about this claim? Are you lazy because you are a Gemini? Or is it all a bunch of bullsh*t?" before hitting them with actual gravitational calculations. The flat Earth section is even better - making students calculate how fast a disc-shaped Earth would need to accelerate upward to simulate gravity (9.8 m/s²). Then casually dropping that the Earth would exceed light speed within a year. Nothing says "welcome to physics" like calculating the mathematical impossibility of conspiracy theories. Either this teacher is getting fired or winning educator of the year. No in-between.

The eternal battle between mass and weight claims another victim! This meme brutally roasts people who think 1kg of steel weighs more than 1kg of feathers. Spoiler alert: they're BOTH 1kg! 🤦‍♂️ The bell curve shows the distribution of intelligence, with the confused souls on both ends insisting steel weighs more (despite identical mass), while the enlightened middle understands basic physics. The title refers to "point masses" (idealized objects with mass but no volume) and pokes fun at flat-earthers who believe gravity is just acceleration. Remember kids, mass is an intrinsic property - 1kg is 1kg whether it's neutron stars or cotton candy! Though I still want to see someone try to carry both and tell me which "feels" heavier... *mad scientist cackle*
