Physics textbooks Memes

The emotional journey of every physics undergrad in one image. First term: tears of confusion as you face Mathematical Methods. Second term: existential dread when Quantum Mechanics destroys your concept of reality. Third term: full-blown Plankton-level villain screaming as Classical Electrodynamics finishes whatever sanity you had left. Griffith's textbooks were merciful compared to these monsters. No wonder physics departments have therapists on speed dial.

Physics textbooks really said "let's spice things up with some interdisciplinary trauma!" This gem features a problem where you're KIDNAPPED by political science majors for the crime of... *checks notes*... scientific gatekeeping. And somehow you're expected to calculate vehicle speed while blindfolded? Talk about applying physics under pressure! The comment thread is pure gold - physics majors throwing shade at other disciplines while conveniently ignoring that they can't explain 95% of the universe's composition. Dark matter and dark energy? More like "dark embarrassment." The theoretical physicist's response is the perfect scientific mic drop. Nothing says academic superiority like shouting "WELL NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE!" when your entire field is built on elegant equations describing a tiny fraction of reality.

Physics textbooks exist in a parallel universe where cart-hanging people are just normal Tuesday stuff. First they give you a frictionless surface (because God forbid we deal with reality), then casually mention "a person hanging from a massless pulley" like that's something you'd see at Walmart. Next problem: "Calculate the tension in the rope as the cart approaches the speed of light while carrying 3 penguins and your crushed dreams." And we all just accept this madness!
