Microwaves Memes

The electromagnetic spectrum throwing shade at itself! Gamma rays, with their insane energy levels, are the cosmic bodybuilders that can literally rip atoms apart. Meanwhile, microwaves are just hanging out at the low-energy end of the spectrum, barely mustering enough power to heat your leftover pizza. This perfectly captures the early universe hierarchy - when the cosmos was young and hot, gamma radiation was the neighborhood bully with energies so high they could tear apart protons. Fast forward 13.8 billion years, and we've domesticated their wimpy cousins to reheat coffee. Talk about a cosmic downgrade!
