Flight Memes

The bell curve of aerodynamic understanding is brutal! In the middle, we have normal people who correctly understand that planes fly due to the pressure difference created by wing shape. But at both extremes? Pure comedy gold. On one side, we've got the "planes push air down" simpleton who'd probably explain submarines as "fish but metal." On the other side, there's the pseudo-intellectual dropping Bernoulli's principle like it's a mic and the conservation of momentum enforcer who'd argue with NASA engineers. The beauty of this meme is watching confident incorrectness reach the same wrong conclusions through completely different paths of flawed reasoning.

The DIY hot air balloon guide we never asked for but secretly needed! This stick figure genius demonstrates convection in its purest form—heat makes air rise, so naturally the next logical step is personal flight. The beautiful part? It's technically sound physics! Heated air is less dense than cooler air, creating buoyancy that's powerful enough to lift objects. The same principle powers real hot air balloons, just with slightly better engineering and significantly less trolling. The perfect weekend project for when you've exhausted all reasonable hobbies and decided that harnessing thermodynamics for questionable transportation is the next frontier.

Every physics student's nightmare: sitting through yet another oversimplified explanation of flight. Teachers love to say "Bernoulli's principle causes lift because faster air on top creates lower pressure" and call it a day. But mention Newton's Third Law or boundary layer separation? Suddenly they're playing the Uno "Draw 25" card! The reality of aerodynamics involves complex vortex systems, circulation theory, and the Coanda effect—but good luck getting that in Intro Physics. It's like explaining a symphony by only talking about the flute section.

Someone forgot about our friend Sir Isaac Newton and his pesky laws! Sure, there are no cop planes, but try arguing with gravity and air resistance when you're zooming at 800 mph! Physics doesn't need a badge to enforce its laws—it's the ultimate cosmic killjoy that's been pulling fast objects back down to reality since the beginning of time. The universe's most reliable traffic officer doesn't write tickets... it just makes you go SPLAT! 💥

Childhood physics debates are where true scientific innovation begins. This masterpiece explores the classic "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" fallacy that every physicist has contemplated at age 8. The stick figure's flawless plan to defeat Newton's Third Law involves standing on a plank, lifting said plank, and achieving flight through sheer logical oversight. Conservation of momentum sends its regards. Somewhere, a physics professor is using this as an exam question while muttering "this is why we can't have nice things."
