Quarantine Memes

Behold! The perfect visualization of quarantine brain consumption! That little blue blob labeled "me" is being absolutely DEVOURED by a ravenous monster of science YouTube channels and educational content. When normal entertainment runs dry, we all turn into knowledge-hungry goblins! Minutephysics, Veritasium, PBS Space Time - the gateway drugs of science content that start as "just one video" and end with you questioning the fabric of reality at 4AM. The pandemic turned us all into accidental physics enthusiasts. Who needs sourdough bread when you can binge-watch explanations of quantum field theory instead?!

While everyone else was busy dying during the Bubonic Plague, Isaac Newton was sent home from university for a little "social distancing" and casually revolutionized physics, optics, and mathematics. Picture this: Europe in total chaos, bodies piling up, and Newton's just vibing in his mom's garden like "Hmm, that apple fell down instead of up. Interesting. Also, check out what happens when light hits this prism. Neat!" Talk about making the most of your work-from-home situation! The man invented calculus as a side project while others were fighting for toilet paper... I mean, plague remedies.

While Europe was busy dying from the bubonic plague in the 1660s, Newton was sent home from Cambridge and decided to casually revolutionize physics and optics. Nothing says "productive quarantine" like discovering that white light splits into a rainbow spectrum through a prism! The man literally invented calculus because he was bored. Meanwhile, I can barely finish a Netflix series during a sick day. This is peak scientist energy—ignoring a catastrophic pandemic to play with shiny trinkets and accidentally change the course of human understanding. Newton's priorities were crystal clear: plague

While everyone else was busy dying from the plague, Newton was at home discovering that white light contains the entire spectrum of colors. Classic Newton move. Quarantined in his country house during the 1665-1666 Great Plague, he's just there with a prism going "rainbow go brrr" while society collapses. The man invented calculus as a side project during this time too, because apparently not even a pandemic can stop the relentless march of physics. Some people stress-bake during lockdowns; Newton revolutionized our understanding of light.
