Lewis Memes

The eternal struggle of chemistry students everywhere! Batman Beyond claiming he "created the Acid-Base definition" while the glowing skeleton (clearly representing Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, or Lewis) is having an existential crisis. Truth is, we have at least THREE major acid-base definitions, each expanding on the previous one, and chemistry students have to memorize all of them! The skeleton's frustration is palpable - imagine creating a fundamental definition only for two other scientists to come along and say "well actually..." Chemistry professors love throwing all three definitions at you on exams and watching you dissolve like an acid in water. Pure academic torture!
