Why Are Bases Overlooked?
Poor bases, always drowning in the chemistry world! While acids get all the glory and sci-fi writers' attention, bases are just struggling to stay afloat. It's like the chemistry equivalent of middle child syndrome! Everyone remembers when acids melt through metal in movies, but nobody writes thrilling scenes about bases... you know, just quietly saponifying fats or neutralizing stomach acid. Not exactly blockbuster material! Next time you use baking soda or soap, give bases the recognition they deserve! They're the unsung heroes keeping your chemistry balanced while acids hog the spotlight!

The Great Science Gatekeeping Paradox
The eternal battle between pop-sci enthusiasts and actual mathematical rigor! This meme brutally calls out those who claim to "love science" but would run screaming from a partial differential equation. The irony is delicious - consuming sci-fi entertainment and YouTube explainers doesn't quite equate to understanding Maxwell's equations or tackling eigenvalue problems. It's like claiming you're a chef because you watch cooking shows while eating microwave dinners. The gatekeeping is strong with this one, but let's be honest - there's a tiny calculus-avoiding gremlin in all of us that prefers the digestible version of science over grinding through problem sets!

Why Are Bases Overlooked?
Poor bases, always getting neutralized by the spotlight-hogging acids! Chemistry teachers spend hours talking about hydrochloric and sulfuric acids melting metal and burning holes in lab coats, while sodium hydroxide sits in the corner like "I can dissolve your entire body but whatever." Meanwhile, sci-fi writers are over there making up ridiculous alien blood that's "so acidic it melts through the spaceship hull" when bases could do the job just as horrifyingly well. Justice for bases! They're just as corrosive but get none of the cinematic glory.

The Three Body Problem: From Fiction To Equations
The meme perfectly captures the escalating complexity of "The Three Body Problem." First panel: the Netflix adaptation? Meh. Second panel: Cixin Liu's original novel? Getting better! Third panel: the actual physics equations describing three massive bodies interacting gravitationally? *MIND BLOWN* Those intimidating differential equations represent one of physics' most famous unsolvable problems - you can't predict where three orbiting bodies will end up over time without numerical approximations. It's why NASA needs supercomputers to calculate spacecraft trajectories! The true galaxy brain moment is realizing the book's title wasn't just a metaphor for human relationships, but an actual mathematical nightmare that haunts physicists to this day.
