The Evolution Of Physics Understanding

The Evolution Of Physics Understanding
The classic physics knowledge escalation meme, but make it SpongeBob. Starting with "objects fall because gravity" is like saying you understand cooking because you can microwave ramen. By the final panel, our yellow friend has transcended to discussing geodesics in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds – essentially the mathematical equivalent of explaining why you're late to work by detailing the quantum fluctuations that caused the Big Bang. This is what happens when physicists have too much coffee and not enough sleep. The progression from Newton's apple to Einstein's relativity to Wheeler's "spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve" to full geometric madness is the academic version of those "increasingly verbose" memes. Graduate students evolve similarly.

The Salt Seeker's Descent Into Madness

The Salt Seeker's Descent Into Madness
The escalating madness of salt acquisition! 🧂 What starts as a simple grocery trip spirals into increasingly unhinged chemistry methods. My personal favorite is harvesting tears from failed experiments—been there, collected that! The final panel with Fritz Haber is the chef's kiss of chemical chaos. The progression from "normie" table salt to synthesizing it with cyanide and mustard gas is peak scientist humor. It's the chemical equivalent of using a nuclear reactor to toast your bread when the toaster is right there!
