Scientific fields Memes

The eternal disciplinary smackdown captured perfectly! Physicists love to smugly declare chemistry as "just applied physics" while patting themselves on the back for understanding fundamental forces. Meanwhile, chemists are busy creating actual useful compounds without spending a single neuron contemplating whether quarks feel lonely. This hierarchical science beef goes back decades. Rutherford once called all science "either physics or stamp collecting" - the absolute nerve! Yet chemists get the last laugh here with their perfect "I don't think about you at all" energy. They're too occupied balancing equations and making molecules do their bidding to care about physicists' superiority complex. The true irony? Both fields desperately need each other but would rather die than admit it. Classic academic rivalry at its finest!
