The Physics Enlightenment Delusion

The Physics Enlightenment Delusion
That one physics student who watched a YouTube video at 3x speed and now thinks they've transcended Newton and Archimedes combined! 😂 The cosmic entity floating above two of history's greatest scientific minds is the perfect representation of how we feel after learning one (1) equation. Fun fact: While Newton gave us calculus and gravity, and Archimedes shouted "Eureka!" in a bathtub, modern physics students can explain both their discoveries in a single TikTok. Ultimate power!

Insults? Whatever. Criticize chemistry? Now you've crossed a line, buddy. Nothing triggers a scientist faster than trash-talking their field. We'll ignore personal attacks all day, but suggest our beloved discipline is worthless and suddenly we transform into rabid defenders of molecular honor. The same chemist who shrugs off being called ugly will absolutely lecture you for 45 minutes about how chemistry literally created modern civilization. Don't even get me started on what happens when you tell a physicist that gravity is "just a theory."

The eternal academic struggle captured perfectly! That moment when a reviewer absolutely demolishes your paper but you notice they cited your previous work. Suddenly, all scientific integrity goes out the window because hey—they referenced you! Nothing soothes the sting of harsh peer review like seeing your name in someone else's bibliography. Publication metrics trump dignity every time in the publish-or-perish world.
