Work Done Is Independent Of Path In The Absence Of Non-Conservative Forces

Work Done Is Independent Of Path In The Absence Of Non-Conservative Forces
The ancient Egyptians had physics figured out WAY before Newton! This satirical Onion headline brilliantly plays on the eternal debate about pyramid construction techniques while throwing in the "aliens did it" conspiracy theory for good measure. The title is pure physics gold - conservation of energy means the work required to move those massive blocks doesn't depend on the path taken (assuming no friction). Whether you're dragging stones up a ramp or using fancy alien technology, physics demands the same energy payment! Meanwhile, archaeologists everywhere are facepalming at the "aliens" explanation. Those little stick figures with light bulbs for heads? Definitely not suspicious at all... 👽

Laws Of Physics Don't Care About Your Feelings

Laws Of Physics Don't Care About Your Feelings
Protesting the laws of physics is like trying to legislate gravity away! The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy (disorder) in an isolated system always increases over time. These protesters might as well be demanding that water flow uphill or that dropped objects float instead of fall. The satirical headline brilliantly mocks science denial by portraying it as attempting to overturn fundamental physical laws through political action. Next up: lobbying against conservation of energy and demanding that E=mc² be revised to something more convenient for their worldview! Remember folks, the universe doesn't care about your opinions or your votes. The laws of thermodynamics will continue working regardless of how many strongly worded signs you make.
