The Ultimate Scientific Power Move
The greatest flex in chemistry history: inventing a fundamental scale and taking its meaning to the grave. Søren Sørensen created the pH scale in 1909 while working at Carlsberg Laboratory (yes, the beer company funded this). Despite countless students begging to know what the "p" stands for, the scientific community still debates whether it means "power," "potential," or "Carlsberg's marketing department needed something catchy." The ultimate power move isn't bench pressing 300 pounds—it's creating terminology that confuses generations of chemistry students.

The Wow Signal: Technically Correct Is The Best Kind Of Correct
The infamous "Wow! Signal" of 1977 has baffled astronomers for decades - a 72-second burst of radio waves that perfectly matched what we'd expect from intelligent extraterrestrial communication. Scientists have spent years trying to pinpoint its cosmic origin with zero success. Then comes Alan with the galaxy-brain response: "Yes we do. It came from space." 🪐 It's the astronomical equivalent of saying "the murderer was someone who commits murders" during a detective investigation. Technically correct but spectacularly unhelpful when you're trying to narrow down the search area from *checks notes* THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

The Chad Who Invented pH And Refused To Elaborate
The ultimate chemistry power move! This meme pokes fun at Søren Sørensen, the Danish chemist who created the pH scale in 1909 but took the meaning of "p" to his grave. While scientists now know it stands for "potential of hydrogen" (or "-log[H+]" for the nerdy crowd), Sørensen apparently chose chaos and never clarified. The muscular body photoshopped under his face perfectly captures the big brain energy of someone who creates a fundamental measurement system then refuses to elaborate. That's not just scientific discovery—that's scientific dominance.
