Science students Memes

The beautiful irony of physics education in one perfect bell curve. On both ends, students confidently proclaim "I don't understand physics" – whether they're scoring 40 or 140. Meanwhile, that sweaty, stressed-out specimen in the middle is declaring "PHYSICS IS EASY!!!" while clearly having an existential crisis. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect with equations! The truly clueless and the genuine geniuses both recognize physics for the eldritch horror it is. Only those caught in the dangerous middle – just knowledgeable enough to be dangerous – dare claim mastery over quantum mechanics and relativity. After 30 years of teaching, I can confirm: if a student tells me physics is easy, I immediately check if they know what a Hamiltonian is. Spoiler alert: they don't.

The desperation for those 10 marks runs deep. What we're witnessing here is the classic science student maneuver—manipulating perfectly valid physics equations until they produce complete nonsense. The "proof" starts with pressure and force equations, then casually squares both sides as if mathematical operations are just suggestions. The result? A completely meaningless PAPA = MAMA equation that would make Newton roll in his grave fast enough to generate renewable energy. This is what happens when you combine sleep deprivation, deadline panic, and the unshakable confidence that comes from memorizing too many formulas.
