The Short(est) History Of Fundamental Physics

1 day ago 15.3K views 0 shares

The entire history of physics reduced to notation changes. Newton took discrete sums (Σ) and made calculus with integrals (∫). Then Planck came along and quantized everything back to discrete chunks. Three centuries of revolutionary physics distilled into "we made it continuous, then we made it discrete again." Scientists spent 300 years running in a mathematical circle just to end up where they started. The universe's greatest practical joke on physicists.

The Ultimate Physics Uno Reverse Card

Physics history speedrun! Newton took us from discrete sums (Σ) to continuous integrals (∫), basically saying "hey, let's smooth things out!" Then Planck came along centuries later and was like "SIKE! Everything's actually quantized and discrete again (∫ → Σ)!" It's the ultimate scientific uno reverse card. The entire history of fundamental physics is literally just flipping between "nature is continuous" and "nope, it's chunky" - and that's the shortest TED talk ever!

Scientific Disciplines Tackle Childcare

The different scientific approaches to problem-solving are hilariously on display here! While chemists worry about safety and toxicity, biologists jump straight to genetic analysis, and philosophers question the fundamental nature of existence. But physicists? They're just applying Newton's laws of motion in the most direct way possible! 😂 The physicist's "yeet the child" solution is basically just an enthusiastic application of F=ma. Sure, we might want to calculate the trajectory and landing zone first, but why complicate things with math when you can just... experiment?

Newton's First Law Of Dating

Newton's First Law of Dating! Someone brilliantly applied physics to explain why people already in relationships find it easier to jump into new ones, while singles tend to stay single. It's the romantic equivalent of inertia! 🔬💕 Just like a rolling boulder doesn't stop unless something blocks its path, people already experiencing the momentum of romance keep bouncing from relationship to relationship. Meanwhile, us single particles require that mythical "external force" (perhaps a well-timed coffee spill or an algorithmic dating app miracle) to change our relationship status! Who knew Newton was secretly a relationship guru? My laboratory experiments confirm: finding love requires either momentum or a really strong push!

The Immortality Of Mathematical Truth

The eternal truth of mathematics versus the constant evolution of other sciences! While physics textbooks become outdated once Newton revolutionized mechanics, and chemistry texts are obsolete if they predate electron discovery, math books from literal millennia ago can still be perfectly valid today. This highlights the fundamental difference between mathematical truths and scientific theories. The Pythagorean theorem hasn't changed since 500 BCE, but our understanding of the physical world gets completely rewritten every few centuries. Next time someone questions why mathematicians seem so smug, remind them their work has a shelf life measured in eons rather than decades!

How Things Are Invented: Nature's Hilarious Wake-Up Calls

The origin story of scientific discovery we don't talk about enough! 😂 Physics was born when an apple bonked someone on the head (thanks, Newton!), while aerodynamics came from someone getting absolutely NAILED by a bird mid-flight. Forget methodical research—major scientific breakthroughs are just nature's way of saying "Hey dummy, pay attention!" Next time you're hoping to revolutionize a field, maybe just sit under various things and wait for inspiration to literally hit you!

Objects With Mass Don't Do Sh*t, Unless

Newton's First Law just got the street translation it deserved. The law states that objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion... unless acted upon by an external force. Or as this meme eloquently puts it: "Objects with mass don't do shit, unless..." Physicists spend years learning complex mathematical formulations when they could've just printed this on page one of the textbook and called it a day.

Physics Pick-Up Lines Through The Ages

Three centuries of physics flirting techniques, and they're all equally terrible. Newton's gravity pick-up line is basically "I'm falling for you" with extra steps. Hawking went darker with the black hole reference—once you're in, you're never getting out. But Schrödinger wins the award for most honest physicist by admitting quantum mechanics is just relationship status: "It's complicated." The progression from classical to quantum physics mirrors the evolution of dating problems—from simple attraction to complete bewilderment.

When Your Crush's Family Speaks Fluent Mathematics

Dating in STEM fields is a mathematical nightmare! Your crush has mastered Euler's identity (e iπ + 1 = 0), one of math's most elegant equations. Meanwhile, her father is watching you with the normal distribution function, statistically evaluating your every move. Her grandfather keeps it old-school with the Pythagorean theorem, but her brother? He's flexing with Taylor series expansions because basic calculus is too mainstream. That cousin though... bringing Fourier series to the family dinner is pure mathematical terrorism. The boyfriend is showing off with Schrödinger's equation, her BFF knows Newton's second law, and her first love? Einstein's mass-energy equivalence - classic. And you? You're just sitting there with the sum of all natural numbers somehow equaling -1/12, which is both mathematically controversial AND perfectly represents your chances in this relationship. No wonder you're not knowing peace!

Such A Shame: Newton's Publishing Predicament

Newton's face says it all! The meme plays on the prestigious scientific journal "Nature" and Sir Isaac Newton's connection to it. The journal wasn't named after him, but rather the natural world he studied so meticulously. Meanwhile, poor Cell Press journals (like "Cell" and "Neuron") are named after microscopic biological structures. Imagine revolutionizing physics, mathematics, and optics only to have your legacy be "Newton: The Journal of Tiny Membrane-Bound Organelles." His disapproving expression is basically the 17th century version of an eye-roll at academic publishing puns. The gravity of this situation is clearly pulling his patience downward at 9.8 m/s²!

Newton's Law Of Universal Copy Protection

Newton's sitting there with his gravity equation (F = G m₁m₂/d²) when he catches Coulomb basically copying his homework but for electric charges (F = k q₁q₂/r²). The side-eye is INTENSE. It's the physics equivalent of "Can I copy your work?" "Sure, just change it a bit so it's not obvious." Except Coulomb literally just swapped masses for charges and called it a day. Talk about intellectual theft with style! Newton's probably thinking, "Inverse square relationship? That was MY thing, you electrifying plagiarist!"

Great Moments In Finger-Pointing Science

Four legendary scientists, four identical "eureka" poses. Apparently, the universal gesture for scientific breakthrough is pointing dramatically upward while looking slightly unhinged. Newton with his apple, Pasteur with his milk, Curie with her radioactive glow, and Schrödinger looking simultaneously excited and horrified—probably because his cat is both alive and dead. The real scientific method: 1% inspiration, 99% theatrical finger-pointing.
