Always Has Been... Nuclear Safe

The hierarchy of scientific existential dread on full display. Social scientists fretting about replication issues while physicists casually mention they can't explain 95% of the universe (dark matter and dark energy, no big deal). Meanwhile, mathematicians are just sweating nervously, hoping nobody discovers that most mathematical concepts exist purely in abstract realms humans can't even visualize. The monkey meme perfectly captures that "just keep looking away and maybe no one will notice our field is built on abstractions that make dark matter look straightforward." Pure mathematical anxiety in primate form.

The serene couple enjoying their picturesque landscape is blissfully unaware they're standing on a mathematical nightmare. That's physics for you—the beautiful, elegant theories we teach undergrads versus the horrifying mathematical hellscape lurking beneath. Groups and vector spaces are just the polite invitation to the party before you're thrown into the pit of non-commutative algebra, tensor calculus, and Hilbert spaces where your sanity goes to die. I still wake up in cold sweats mumbling about eigenvalues.

The eternal third wheel of atomic physics! While protons and neutrons cuddle up in the nucleus like they're at some exclusive party, the electron is banished to orbit at a distance, forever looking in from the outside. Talk about nuclear discrimination! That poor electron has 1/1836 the mass of a proton but carries all the same emotional baggage. No wonder it's so negative all the time.

The exact moment Georg Ohm realized his groundbreaking law: "Wait... so you're telling me that if I make it harder for electrons to flow, FEWER electrons flow?!" Revolutionary stuff in 1827! The wild hair perfectly captures that electricity-just-went-through-my-brain moment. Imagine spending months measuring current through different materials only to discover something so fundamentally obvious that you need to double-check your notes while your colleagues try not to snicker. That's how we got V=IR, folks - pure shocked-face science.

The 16-step journey of solving a physics problem is painfully accurate. From the initial optimism of writing equations to the emotional rollercoaster of getting multiple wrong answers, finding algebra errors (2-3=5... seriously?), and finally reaching enlightenment after wasting four hours. The progression from frustration to despair to eventual triumph captures the essence of physics homework. That moment when you realize the problem has six more parts? Pure academic trauma. No wonder physicists have that thousand-yard stare—they've seen things... mathematical things.

The eternal struggle between chemistry and physics students! While chemists spend their days drawing endless benzene rings and carbon structures (hexagons everywhere!), physics textbooks are just mathematical equations and abstract concepts. To a chemist, a book without hexagonal molecular structures is practically unreadable - like trying to read a novel without vowels. The look of utter confusion on Gaston's face perfectly captures that "where are all my beautiful carbon rings??" moment that every organic chemistry student experiences when venturing outside their hexagon-filled comfort zone.
