Magic Memes

The desperate plea from physics departments everywhere! 😂 This meme absolutely nails how physics sometimes looks like witchcraft to outsiders. Sure, we've got glowing uranium that could "level cities" (but it's NOT magic, we swear!), mysterious equations that definitely aren't mystical runes (stop saying that!), and yes, that apple is floating because of MAGNETS not levitation spells! The best part is the increasingly defensive tone as it goes on - from politely explaining radioactive isotopes to the final "what the f***" blue glow experiment where even physicists are questioning their life choices. Physics: where we're one lab accident away from being mistaken for wizards!

Physics departments really need better PR people. "No no, that's not a glowing radioactive rock that could annihilate a city—it's just a... friendly isotope with extra personality!" And those equations? Just mathematical notation, definitely not ancient runes for bending spacetime. Sure, and I suppose that apple floating on magnets isn't suspiciously similar to every witch trial exhibit from the 1600s. The best part is physicists in labs with their bubbling concoctions insisting they're "running experiments" and not "summoning demons from the quantum realm." Meanwhile, Schrödinger's cat is simultaneously alive, dead, and plotting revenge for that thought experiment. Next they'll tell us dark matter isn't just wizard dust and quantum entanglement isn't spooky action at a distance. Right. And I'm not failing students for entertainment.
