Tech hype Memes

Poor Physics, just trying to stay afloat while CS, AI, and Data Science get all the attention and funding. Meanwhile, Mathematics is sitting at the bottom of the academic ocean like some forgotten deity, silently supporting the entire scientific enterprise while everyone else gets the glory. Without Math, the rest would be flailing in the shallow end asking "how do I computer?" Yet here we are in 2025, throwing money at anything with "machine learning" in the title while the fundamental sciences drown. The hierarchy is real, folks - Math is the skeleton, Physics is the struggling middle child, and tech buzzwords are the spoiled brats getting all the birthday presents.

Physics teachers everywhere are having a collective meltdown right now. For decades they've been teaching us about the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, and plasma), only for Microsoft to waltz in and claim they've created a "new state of matter" with topoconductors. Meanwhile, plasma—the most abundant state of matter in the universe—is sitting in the corner like "Am I a joke to you?" The irony of a tech CEO "discovering" a fifth state while completely ignoring the fourth is peak corporate science communication.
