Lagrange Memes

From theoretical brilliance to "Hey buddy, can you check my transmission?" The evolution of mechanics takes an unexpected turn! Newton gave us forces, Lagrange reformulated with energy, Hamilton made it even more abstract with his fancy mathematical approach... and then there's Bob and Steve under your car. Physics purists might need a moment to recover from that punchline. Next time your car breaks down, just tell the mechanic you prefer a Hamiltonian approach to your oil change.
