Well That Ain't Right

Well That Ain't Right
The top panel shows people laughing hysterically claiming "THE CHEMISTRY TEST IS GOING GREAT" while the bottom panel reveals the horrifying truth: "PH=17" 😱 For the chemistry nerds keeping score at home, this is basically the equivalent of breaking the universe. The pH scale only goes from 0-14, measuring how acidic or basic a solution is. Seeing pH=17 would be like witnessing the laws of chemistry having a complete meltdown! That shell-shocked expression is the perfect reaction to realizing you've either created a substance that shouldn't exist or completely botched your calculations. Either way, your lab report is going to need a very creative explanation...

The Infinite Laser Problem

The Infinite Laser Problem
The physics problem that would make even Einstein sweat! Creating a lightsaber sounds simple until you hit that pesky "finite length" issue. In reality, lasers don't just stop mid-air without something to reflect or absorb them. They keep going until they hit something (like your enemy's ship or your own foot). This is basically asking "how do you create a sword made of light that doesn't extend infinitely into space?" The answer? You don't—unless you've got some kyber crystals and the Force handy. Maybe try graduate-level quantum field manipulation instead of freshman physics next time, young Skywalker.

Octahedral Hydrogen: The Molecular Nightmare

Octahedral Hydrogen: The Molecular Nightmare
Chemistry student having an existential crisis because hydrogen cannot form octahedral complexes! That poor blue H atom is surrounded by six cobalt atoms in an octahedral arrangement, which is about as chemically realistic as finding a penguin in the Sahara. Hydrogen typically forms just ONE bond, not six! This is the chemistry equivalent of dividing by zero – your professor would spontaneously combust if you submitted this on an exam. The bottom reaction is the only appropriate response when confronted with such molecular heresy.
