51 Years Of Thermodynamic Torture

The scientific burn is STRONG with this one! 🔥 While Newton revolutionized physics with his laws of motion and gravity, magnetism remained largely untouched by his genius. The meme cleverly shows how the "book of magnetism" looks exactly the same with or without Newton's contributions - because there weren't any! It's the scientific equivalent of saying "I didn't need you anyway!" Scientists like Ampère, Faraday, and Maxwell had to step up and do the electromagnetic heavy lifting instead. Newton was too busy inventing calculus, explaining gravity, and getting hit by apples to bother with magnets!

The hydrogen atom's shocked expression perfectly captures the bizarre reality of quantum tunneling. Hydrogen, being the smallest atom, can literally phase through platinum's crystal lattice structure like it's no big deal. While other elements politely wait outside, hydrogen just... walks through walls. Platinum catalysts exploit this quantum weirdness for all sorts of chemical reactions. It's basically the atomic version of discovering you have superpowers, except instead of celebrating, the hydrogen is just completely freaking out about violating classical physics.

That textbook just casually dropped the bombshell that electrons have feelings! The highlighted line states "an electron never kills itself or other electrons because of love" — implying these subatomic particles have emotional lives and relationship drama? No wonder Obi-Wan looks utterly baffled! What's next? Quarks with commitment issues? Neutrons with narcissistic tendencies? This is what happens when physicists pull all-nighters before submitting their manuscript. Someone needs to tell these electrons that repelling each other isn't "playing hard to get" — it's just the electromagnetic force doing its thing!

That moment when you correctly explain gravity in a Reddit comment and suddenly you're floating above Newton and Galileo with cosmic wings. Sure, I read half a physics textbook once and watched a YouTube video about quantum mechanics. Basically the same as revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. The undergraduate physics major's final form isn't even their final form.

The expectation vs. reality of physics studies hits harder than a neutron star collision! Daydreaming about unraveling the mysteries of the universe? Pure bliss! Actually solving those differential equations and figuring out why that one particle decided to quantum tunnel somewhere it shouldn't? Pure pain. The transition from "I'm gonna be the next Einstein" to "I can't even remember which direction gravity pulls" happens faster than light through a vacuum. Physics: where your dreams of understanding the cosmos transform into nightmares about forgetting minus signs on exams!

The evolution of engineering ambition is painfully accurate. Historical engineers built bridges, skyscrapers, and rockets with slide rules and graph paper. Modern engineering students get absolutely wrecked by thermodynamics equations that make grown adults weep. The muscular Doge represents our romanticized view of past engineers tackling impossible challenges, while the sad regular Doge perfectly captures that moment when you realize entropy isn't just a concept—it's the universe actively working against your homework.
