Live Laugh Love Newton
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

Newton's Rainbow Revelation
The meme plays on Newton's famous prism experiment where he split white light into a rainbow spectrum! Instead of just explaining optics, the joke suggests Newton "proved" going outside is gay because rainbows (often associated with LGBTQ+ pride) come from sunlight. It's a hilarious anachronistic mashup of 17th century science and modern slang. Newton would be so confused if he knew his groundbreaking work on light refraction was being used this way centuries later! 🌈

Queen In VIBGYOR: The Royal Spectrum
The Queen has become a walking electromagnetic spectrum! Her fashion choices perfectly align with the visible light spectrum (VIBGYOR - Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red), complete with corresponding wavelengths and frequencies. As frequency increases from red to violet, her outfits follow suit! The wave diagram at the bottom shows how light wavelengths get shorter as we move from red (635nm) to violet (400nm). Her Majesty wasn't just a monarch - she was a walking physics demonstration! Royalty and rainbows have never been so scientifically fabulous.

The Only Correct Solution
The perfect textbook example of why statisticians drink heavily. Someone asks about the probability of a plane getting struck by lightning while crossing a rainbow (an actually fascinating statistical question), and the galaxy-brain response? "50% - it either happens or it doesn't." This is the mathematical equivalent of saying water is wet because it's not dry. Every statistics professor just felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of carefully crafted probability distributions suddenly cried out in terror and were silenced. The irony of this appearing on a Probability & Statistics textbook cover is *chef's kiss* perfection. Next up in Statistical Fallacies 101: "What are the odds of winning the lottery? 50% - I either win or I don't!"

Newton's Fabulous Discovery
The meme plays on Newton's famous prism experiment where he discovered white light contains all colors of the spectrum. In this historically inaccurate but hilarious twist, Newton appears to be creating a rainbow with his prism and immediately jumping to the most unscientific conclusion possible. Instead of his actual groundbreaking work on light dispersion, he's portrayed as discovering that "going outside is gay" because... rainbows. The absurd anachronism of applying modern slang to a 17th-century physicist is what makes this so ridiculously funny. Newton would be rolling in his grave fast enough to generate electricity if he knew his optics experiments were reduced to this.

How To Tell If You're Bi(smuth)
This meme is a brilliant chemistry pun that plays on the dual meaning of "Bi" - both as bismuth (the chemical element) and as bisexual. The post lists actual properties of bismuth: atomic number 83, pentavalent bonding capabilities, cubic crystal structure, rainbow oxidation pattern, and its ridiculous half-life of 1.9×10¹⁹ years (way longer than our 13.8 billion year old universe). The commenter with username "bismuth_209" feels personally targeted by this scientific callout, while another user feels exposed by this eerily accurate "element-al" identification method. Chemistry nerds rejoice - your periodic table knowledge finally has dating application!

The Prism's Rainbow Transformation
The perfect visual representation of how prisms work! When sunlight hits a prism, it splits into a glorious rainbow—no magic required, just good ol' physics doing its thing. And bonus points for the "Alienstock" reference at the bottom. Nothing says "I understand light refraction" quite like explaining it at a festival where people were planning to raid Area 51. Because obviously, aliens are very interested in our understanding of the visible light spectrum!

Pandemic Productivity: Newton Edition
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.
