The Evolution Of Physics Understanding
The classic physics knowledge escalation meme, but make it SpongeBob. Starting with "objects fall because gravity" is like saying you understand cooking because you can microwave ramen. By the final panel, our yellow friend has transcended to discussing geodesics in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds – essentially the mathematical equivalent of explaining why you're late to work by detailing the quantum fluctuations that caused the Big Bang. This is what happens when physicists have too much coffee and not enough sleep. The progression from Newton's apple to Einstein's relativity to Wheeler's "spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve" to full geometric madness is the academic version of those "increasingly verbose" memes. Graduate students evolve similarly.
