Thanos Memes

Remember when physicists spent centuries strutting around like the superheroes of science? Then COVID hit and suddenly biologists and chemists were saving the world while physicists were just... calculating things in their pajamas! 🧪💉 The great reckoning has arrived! After generations of stealing the spotlight with their fancy equations and theoretical particles, physicists finally had to watch from the sidelines as their lab coat cousins actually, you know, solved a REAL crisis. The ultimate revenge of the "soft sciences"! And now they're all "Perhaps I treated you too harshly" like some defeated cosmic villain. Too late, physics friends! We've seen you in your natural habitat - theorizing while the world burns!

Quantum physicists: "We need non-contextual realism." Bell, Kochen, and Specker: *mathematically prove this is impossible* Physicists looking at their shattered worldview: "Fine. Reality is contextual." The Bell-KS theorem basically destroyed the dream that particles have definite properties independent of measurement. Your electron doesn't "decide" its spin until someone looks at it. It's like your teenager's room only becomes messy when you open the door.

Einstein's proud dad moment watching Thor and Thanos apply physics in real-time! The meme perfectly captures the essence of Newton's Third Law—for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. When Thanos says "If I can't hit you with the hammer... Then I'll hit the hammer with you!" he's basically reciting the conservation of momentum equation while being super villainous. Einstein's approval face at the bottom is just *chef's kiss* because this cosmic showdown is basically a physics exam question come to life. The ultimate "apply your knowledge in a practical situation" scenario that would make any physics professor shed a tear of joy.

Physics teachers everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force! That blue membrane with objects creating curvature is the classic rubber sheet analogy for explaining Einstein's gravity—where massive objects bend spacetime like a bowling ball on a trampoline. But wait... they're using actual gravity to demonstrate how gravity works! The circular reasoning has Thanos looking absolutely triggered. It's the ultimate scientific inception—explaining a phenomenon using the very phenomenon you're trying to explain. Next up: explaining wetness by getting things wet!

That baseball sitting at the bottom of a curved blue surface is experiencing what physicists call a gravity well. Just like how massive objects bend spacetime, that blue fabric is bending under the ball's weight, creating a potential energy minimum. Exactly what Thanos is referencing—using one manifestation of gravity to explain another. Recursive physics humor at its finest. Next week's experiment: replace the baseball with a grad student's will to continue their dissertation.
