Scientific method Memes

The ultimate scientific flex battle! Physics is out here celebrating its 99.999999% certainty about particle existence (looking at you, Higgs boson and its 5-sigma detection threshold), while Mathematics struts in with its absolute proofs and 100% certainty. The difference? Physics must bow to experimental evidence and statistical confidence levels, while math lives in the pristine realm of logical certainty where proofs are forever. Next time your mathematician friend gets smug, remind them they're just playing with ideas while physicists are wrestling with actual reality!

Particle physicists when you call supersymmetry a "hypothesis" instead of a "theory" is the scientific equivalent of triggering someone's fight response. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theoretical framework that predicts every particle has a "superpartner" with different properties. Despite decades of searching and billions spent on particle accelerators, not a single superparticle has been detected. Yet many physicists remain oddly committed to it, treating it more like established fact than untested hypothesis. The angry face in the last panel perfectly captures that moment when a physicist realizes you're questioning their beautiful mathematical construct with something as trivial as "evidence." How dare you bring the scientific method into theoretical physics!

The eternal academic rivalry captured perfectly! Mathematicians strut around with their buff "Swole Doge" energy, declaring theorems that are supposedly eternal and universal. Meanwhile, physicists are over there with their derpy "Cheems" vibe, proposing laws that work great... until some pesky experiment shows they don't. This is basically Newtonian mechanics vs. quantum mechanics in a nutshell. Newton's laws worked beautifully for centuries until physicists started poking around with tiny particles and high speeds. Then suddenly it was "Oops, we need a whole new framework!" Physics laws are basically just glorified approximations with expiration dates.
