It's Important To Develop Your Kitten's Interest In Physics From A Young Age

It's Important To Develop Your Kitten's Interest In Physics From A Young Age
That moment when your cat's quantum physics education is more advanced than yours! While you're still struggling with "Schrödinger's cat," your actual cat is studying real photon wave-particle duality. The irony isn't lost on me that cats—who spend half their day chasing invisible particles around the house—might actually have an intuitive understanding of quantum mechanics. Next thing you know, kitty will be publishing in Nature while you're still trying to figure out why the TV remote isn't working. Future Nobel Prize winner right there, just needs opposable thumbs to write the acceptance speech.

The Purr-fect Binomial Expansion

The Purr-fect Binomial Expansion
The missing term in the binomial expansion has been found, and it's a cat! When you expand (a+b)², you get a² + 2ab + b², but this mathematical feline is clearly only interested in the middle term. Thirty years of teaching algebra and I've never seen a student grasp the concept this quickly. If only my freshman could absorb mathematical principles as efficiently as this cat absorbs the cross-product term. Next week: trying to explain imaginary numbers to the dog.

Organic Chemistry's Unforgivable Simplifications

Organic Chemistry's Unforgivable Simplifications
The professor is showing polyethylene terephthalate (PET) formation, but that reaction mechanism is triggering my fight-or-flight response. Those nucleophilic attacks and leaving groups look suspiciously clean for organic chemistry. No side products? Perfect yields? In what universe? Next they'll claim their columns never streak and their NMR spectra have no impurities. The audacity.
