Tesla Memes

Behold! Schrödinger's cat photobombing a historic physics conference! While Einstein and the gang debated whether reality exists when nobody's looking, the cat decided to prove it exists in ALL dimensions simultaneously. The irony is palpable—the very creature used to illustrate quantum superposition barging into the photo like "I'm both alive AND famous, thank you very much!" Meanwhile, Tesla is missing because he's probably off somewhere wirelessly transmitting electricity through his mustache. The cat's expression clearly says "I've seen your equations... and I've used them as litter box liner."

That's Nikola Tesla casually reading a book while creating artificial lightning with his Tesla coil, like it's just another Tuesday at the office. The man was literally sitting in a room with millions of volts crackling around him thinking "hmm, yes, this chapter is getting interesting." Meanwhile, I get nervous when my phone battery hits 10%. Tesla was that perfect mix of brilliant and slightly unhinged that makes for the best scientists. He'd generate these massive electrical discharges and just vibe there, probably thinking about how Edison was a jerk while electricity danced around him. The ultimate power move in the history of scientific rivalries.

That's Nikola Tesla casually reading a book while creating artificial lightning with his Tesla coil, and honestly, same energy as grading papers while my students have mental breakdowns during finals. The best part? Tesla was probably thinking "just another Tuesday" while revolutionizing electrical engineering. Meanwhile, modern scientists need three grant approvals and a safety committee review to change a light bulb. The raw chaotic genius of sitting calmly amid massive electrical discharges perfectly captures what happens when brilliance meets zero institutional oversight. Those were the days—when "safety protocol" meant "try not to die too spectacularly."

Evolution of physics in one gut-punch! The top row shows the glorious mad scientist days with Tesla's lightning experiments, Bohr's atomic models, and Archimedes yelling "DON'T DISTURB MY CIRCLES!" while being murdered (priorities, people!). Meanwhile, modern physicists are stuck in computational purgatory—racing tortoises for tenure, wrestling with unsolvable halting problems, and feeding papers into the academic machine just to get more papers out. Gone are the days of electrocuting yourself for science... now we electrocute our keyboards instead! The universe went from "I'll figure you out with this lightning coil" to "please let this code compile before my funding runs out."

The ultimate electrical engineering showdown! This meme brilliantly plays on the "don't say you love the anime if you haven't read the manga" gatekeeping trope, but with a scientific twist. Modern Tesla (the company and its CEO) is the "anime" - the flashy, mainstream version everyone knows. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla himself - the eccentric genius with his lightning coils and revolutionary AC power systems - is the original "manga" that true science nerds appreciate. The historical Tesla was basically creating lightning in his lab while modern Tesla is making electric cars. Both are electrifying in their own way, but only one was feeding pigeons and claiming to receive signals from Mars!
