Scientific literacy Memes

Behold! The glorious collision of science and scientific illiteracy! What we're witnessing is an actual hypervelocity impact test showing the devastating power of space debris. Meanwhile, our commenter is worried about *units* rather than the TINY PLASTIC OBJECT THAT JUST PUNCHED THROUGH SOLID METAL AT 15,000 MPH! 🤯 The irony is delicious! While Neil deGrasse Tyson shares a mind-blowing demonstration of kinetic energy (E=½mv²), our friend below is having an existential crisis over the metric system. It's like watching someone get splashed by a tsunami and complaining their socks got wet!

Those aren't fidget spinners, buddy. That's the universal symbol for radioactive materials on those barrels. Confusing the two is how you end up with superpowers... or more realistically, acute radiation syndrome. Nothing says "failed science class" quite like mistaking nuclear waste for a trendy desk toy. The half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years, but the half-life of this person's scientific literacy was apparently about 45 minutes.

The physics world's greatest inside joke! While the general public freaks out at headlines about CERN creating "anti-particles" (cue dramatic music), physicists just casually sip their coffee knowing it's simply particles with opposite charge. Nothing apocalyptic here—just the quantum equivalent of finding out your scary neighbor is actually just collecting stamps. Anti-particles sound terrifying until you realize they're basically just particles wearing opposite day t-shirts. The quantum version of "it's not a phase, mom!"

Protesting the laws of physics is like trying to legislate gravity away! The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy (disorder) in an isolated system always increases over time. These protesters might as well be demanding that water flow uphill or that dropped objects float instead of fall. The satirical headline brilliantly mocks science denial by portraying it as attempting to overturn fundamental physical laws through political action. Next up: lobbying against conservation of energy and demanding that E=mc² be revised to something more convenient for their worldview! Remember folks, the universe doesn't care about your opinions or your votes. The laws of thermodynamics will continue working regardless of how many strongly worded signs you make.
