High school physics Memes

The physics hierarchy of pain, beautifully illustrated. Particle physicists are stuck in a half-century rut with the Standard Model. String theorists are off in their own dimension asking if we live in an "anti-deSitter spacetime" (spoiler: we don't, but they'll spend another 40 years on it anyway). Cosmologists are politely suggesting everyone's understanding of gravity might be wrong. Meanwhile, high school physics teachers are just trying to explain basic aerodynamics to teenagers who think planes flying upside-down disproves physics entirely. And they wonder why we drink so much coffee.

High school physics students discovering the mind-blowing concept of zero work! 🤯 Running in circles for hours only to end up exactly where you started = ZERO WORK in physics terms! The universe's most elegant way of saying "congrats on your wasted effort!" The cruel irony is that while you're sweating and exhausted from all that circular motion, physics just shrugs and says "displacement = 0, so... work = 0!" It's the ultimate physics burn - putting in maximum effort for mathematically zero results!
