Science Or Sorcery: Physics' Identity Crisis

Science Or Sorcery: Physics' Identity Crisis
Physics is just trying so hard to convince everyone it's a legitimate science and not wizardry in disguise. Sure, you've got your "radioactive isotopes" (definitely not enchanted death rocks), "electromagnetic levitation" (not magical floating spells), and "vector calculus" (absolutely not arcane runes). The desperate "THEY ARE NOT RUNES SHUT UP" has the same energy as someone caught wearing a wizard hat insisting it's "just a fancy sun protector." The Cherenkov radiation glow? Totally scientific and not souls being harvested. That lab equipment? Just standard chemistry apparatus, not demon summoning paraphernalia at all! The cognitive dissonance of physicists is delightful - using incomprehensible symbols to explain invisible forces while frantically denying any similarity to the occult.

Triangles, circles, and mystical symbols everywhere! The line between advanced particle physics and summoning a demon is apparently just a PhD and some grant funding. Those diagrams showing particle interactions, Feynman diagrams, and quantum field theory representations look suspiciously like something you'd find in a medieval grimoire. The irony is delicious - physicists spend years insisting they're doing "serious science" while drawing symbols that would make any self-respecting wizard nod in approval. Next time your physicist friend scoffs at astrology, just point at their triangular quark diagrams and raise an eyebrow. Remember: it's not witchcraft if you publish it in a peer-reviewed journal!
