Strogatz Memes

Physicists: "Love can't be quantified with equations!" Steven Strogatz: *casually models Romeo and Juliet's toxic relationship as a dynamical system with differential equations* The man literally turned heartbreak into an unstable node with τ > 0. Classic Strogatz move—turning the most irrational human experience into eigenvalues and fixed points. Next time someone says math can't explain feelings, just hit them with "Let R(t) = Romeo's love/hate for Juliet at time t" and watch their soul leave their body.
