Speed Memes

When a kid asks about the fastest animal, watch how different scientists COMPLETELY lose their minds! 😂 The biologist gets all technical with "a descending peregrine falcon" (which can hit 240 mph in a dive, you speed demons!). The engineer goes full rocket-mode with "human being in an orbiting satellite" because TECHNICALLY those folks are zooming at 17,500 mph! But the physicist? *maniacal laughter* They're having an existential crisis because without a reference frame, the question makes their brain short-circuit! In relativity, nothing is "fastest" without specifying "compared to what?" It's like asking "where is up?" in space!

This meme brilliantly exploits the physics distinction between scalar and vector quantities. In physics, speed is just a magnitude (how fast something's going), while velocity includes both speed AND direction. So technically, the movie "Speed" couldn't have a director because it would need direction to be called "Velocity"! It's a perfect nerdy physics joke disguised as movie trivia. The expression on Keanu's face makes it even better - looking confused as if he just realized this fundamental scientific error while riding a bus that can't slow down.
