Science misconceptions Memes

The expectation vs. reality of Schrödinger's work is just too good! Popular culture imagines quantum physics as mystical brain powers with glowing neurons, while the actual Schrödinger was just a dude with colleagues at the Institute for Advanced Study. The bottom image shows what appears to be location pins of scientists - real people doing real work instead of having quantum superpowers. The gap between quantum physics in sci-fi and the mundane reality of academic research is the ultimate physicist inside joke. Next you'll tell me Einstein didn't actually shoot lightning from his fingertips!

Einstein's rolling in his grave right now. The twin paradox is absolutely a real paradox in special relativity where a twin traveling at near light-speed returns younger than their Earth-bound sibling. The "felt accelerated" argument completely misses that acceleration is precisely what resolves the paradox—it breaks the symmetry between reference frames! This is like saying "Schrödinger's cat isn't a paradox because the box is opaque." Sure, buddy. Next you'll tell me gravity is just a theory.

This one's a scientific mic drop! People claiming "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" freak out about WiFi signals, but completely forget that neutrinos and cosmic rays are zipping through their bodies by the TRILLIONS every second! 😂 While WiFi operates at about 2.4 GHz with super low power, cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space that have been bombarding Earth (and us) since before humans existed. And neutrinos? Those sneaky subatomic particles are so non-interactive they can pass through a light-year of lead without stopping! The irony is delicious - worrying about WiFi while being completely unbothered by the cosmic particle rave happening through your body right now!
