Science terminology Memes

Chemistry vs Astronomy terminology is the ultimate scientific language barrier! 😂 Chemists have this whole periodic table organized into metals, non-metals, and noble gases. But astronomers? They just went "hydrogen, helium, and... everything else is metal ." Talk about cosmic oversimplification! This hilarious meme perfectly captures the existential crisis of a chemist discovering that astronomers casually call carbon, nitrogen, and even noble gases "metals." In astronomy, any element heavier than helium is considered a "metal" because these elements were formed in stars after the Big Bang (while H and He were primordial). It's like astronomers and chemists developed their terminology in parallel universes! Next thing you know, physicists will start calling everything "particles" and biologists will insist it's all just "organic matter." Science communication is wild!
