Suffering Memes

Nothing brings out the supervillain energy quite like telling someone you're a physics major. That sinister grin appears because you know what comes next—watching their soul leave their body as you casually mention "quantum mechanics" or "relativistic electrodynamics." The power trip is immaculate. Physics majors don't just study dark energy; they channel it every time they explain their major at family gatherings. The best part? Everyone suddenly remembers they need to refresh their drink.

Nothing says "emotional rollercoaster" quite like a physics textbook! The author's sarcastic "tears of joy" response is peak academic humor. Students worldwide know those tears weren't from happiness—unless you count the joy of finally closing that 14th edition torture device after the final exam. Physics textbooks: simultaneously explaining how the universe works while destroying your will to live since forever. The real quantum paradox is how something can be both essential for your education and the source of your existential crisis.

The eternal battle of theoretical physics in one image! Time-independent perturbation theory is the hot date you bring home to your parents—simple, well-behaved, and solvable before dinner. Meanwhile, time-dependent perturbation theory lurks in the shadows like that homework problem that made you question your life choices. For the uninitiated: perturbation theory is how physicists solve problems they can't actually solve. Time-independent versions let you calculate stuff without worrying about that pesky fourth dimension. Add time dependence? Suddenly you're drowning in partial differential equations while questioning why you didn't just become an accountant. The face transformation is every grad student halfway through their quantum mechanics final. Pure emotional damage.

The tears you shed reading Richard Feynman's books are just the warm-up exercise for the quantum-level suffering you'll experience in his actual physics courses! 🤓 His famous "Feynman Lectures on Physics" have sent generations of students spiraling into existential crises while simultaneously making them fall in love with the universe. It's like Stockholm syndrome, but with partial differential equations! The man could explain quantum electrodynamics with stick figures, but his exams would make Einstein reach for a stress ball. 💥🧠

Four physics problems might as well be forty. The transformation from happy cartoon face to existential horror perfectly captures that moment when you realize each physics question contains six sub-questions, three diagrams, and requires remembering formulas you're pretty sure weren't even taught. Physics homework doesn't just break your pencil—it breaks your spirit. Each problem is like a tiny black hole, sucking away hours of your life while violating the conservation of sanity.
