Wrong predictions Memes

Lord Kelvin declared physics was basically finished in 1900, and then Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, and Planck promptly rolled up like a quantum wrecking crew. It's like saying "the library is complete" right before someone invents the internet. Kelvin's "nothing new to discover" statement might be the greatest scientific face-plant in history—right up there with "heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible" and "I'll never need more than 640K of RAM." The quantum revolution wasn't just coming—it was already honking its horn at the intersection.

Nothing like declaring physics "complete" right before someone revolutionizes the entire field! Lord Kelvin's infamous "physics is finished" statement aged about as well as milk in the Sahara. Poor guy thought we just needed more decimal places, then Planck comes along with quantum mechanics and basically says "hold my beer" to classical physics. The ultimate scientific mic drop that left Kelvin looking like Squidward after someone mentioned the word "future." This is basically the 1900s version of "I've seen everything" right before the internet was invented.

Poor Lord Kelvin declared physics was basically finished in 1900, only to get absolutely steamrolled by the quantum and relativity revolution! The meme shows Kelvin as a lonely school bus while Einstein, Schrödinger, Bohr, and Planck come barreling down the tracks as unstoppable trains. Talk about a historical face-plant! Kelvin was measuring temperatures while these folks were casually rewriting the entire fabric of reality. Next time you're certain something is "complete," remember this epic scientific smackdown.
