When 360 Degrees Doesn't Bring You Back To Start
Quantum physics meets geopolitics in the most delightfully nerdy way possible! This brilliant meme takes a political statement about a "360-degree difference" and transforms it into actual quantum mechanics. What's happening here is pure quantum comedy gold - using Majorana zero modes (MZMs) to demonstrate that even though a 360° rotation should bring you back to where you started (basic geometry, right?), in quantum braiding operations with non-Abelian anyons, you can actually end up with a completely different state! It's like saying "I did a complete circle and somehow ended up on Mars!" The meme cleverly maps Turkish Islam to one quantum state and ISIS to another, showing how a full rotation can flip between them - something that would make any physicist giggle uncontrollably while scribbling equations on napkins.
