Mountain Memes

Physics says objects shouldn't be able to climb vertical surfaces without proper friction or adhesion mechanisms. Meanwhile, mountain goats are out here defying gravity like they've never heard of Newton. Their hooves have specialized pads that create micro-suction on tiny rock ledges invisible to us, turning "impossible" cliff faces into casual afternoon strolls. Gravity is just a suggestion when you've evolved to parkour on mountains for millions of years. The laws of physics apply to everyone except these rebellious ungulates who clearly didn't read the textbook.

Standing atop that mountain after conquering "Physics I: 501 Practice Problems For Dummies" is the closest most undergrads will ever get to feeling like Newton. Sure, you've mastered the basic laws of motion, but the universe is laughing because you've just climbed the smallest foothill in the mountain range of physics. Next semester you'll discover that everything you learned was "simplified for beginners" and those neat equations only work in a frictionless vacuum. Enjoy the view while it lasts, young padawan.
