Hilbert spaces Memes

The mathematical journey from innocence to trauma in four panels. First, you're a happy little square enjoying linear algebra—matrices, eigenvalues, simple transformations. Then curiosity strikes: "How do infinite dimensional vector spaces work?" Your neat mathematical shape starts to deform as you venture into Hilbert spaces and topology. By the time you hit functional analysis—with its nightmare fuel of Hahn-Banach theorems and spectral theory—you're being punched in the mathematical gut. The final panel says it all: "NEVER AGAIN." This is the academic equivalent of touching a hot stove and learning a permanent lesson about the dangers of advanced mathematics. Graduate students' tears are the secret ingredient in every functional analysis textbook.

The mathematical horror on display here is *chef's kiss*. Imagine trying to explain infinite-dimensional vector spaces to people who use math just to make fictional characters unreasonably powerful! The juxtaposition of serious mathematicians encountering "powerscalers" (folks who debate which anime character could beat up which) is peak academic nightmare fuel. That poor textbook on Hilbert spaces—containing some of the most elegant mathematical constructs used in quantum mechanics—reduced to "dummy terms" for people arguing about whether Goku could destroy a universe. The mathematical ancestors are weeping.
