Am I Wrong? Re: Entropy

The scientific method at its finest! Someone has defied gravity by sticking a pencil to a wall and left a sticky note explaining they "used friction to stick this pencil to the wall." It's that beautiful moment when boredom intersects with physics experimentation. The static friction between the rough wall texture and the pencil surface creates just enough force to counteract gravity's pull. Next up in their research agenda: seeing how many pencils can be balanced before peer reviewers (roommates) demand they stop damaging the paint.

The physicist is having an existential crisis! Perturbation theory is a mathematical method that relies on small changes (perturbations) to solve complex problems. When these perturbations are small, physicists can approximate solutions beautifully. But suggest those perturbations might NOT be small? Pure mathematical chaos ensues! It's like telling a baker their measuring cups might suddenly be random sizes - their entire recipe framework collapses! The physicist's angry face in the final panel perfectly captures that moment when someone threatens the very foundation of their calculation methods. The entire universe becomes unsolvable!

The moment when a physics student discovers that magnets aren't just magical sticking things but actually quantum mechanical nightmares. Those Weiss domains—regions where electron spins align like stubborn committee members—are what give ferromagnetic materials their properties. And yes, technically they're "tiny magnets" in the same way that the Higgs boson is "just a particle." Next they'll be asking why we can't explain magnetism with classical physics, and I'll need stronger coffee for that conversation.

The ultimate physics flex at a party! This meme perfectly captures that moment when someone drops a mind-blowing science connection that nobody asked for. It's hilariously pointing out how Newton's law of universal gravitation (published in 1687) explains both falling apples AND the moon's orbit with the same fundamental force – gravity! Meanwhile, basic handwashing wasn't promoted until Ignaz Semmelweis came along in the 1840s. Basically, we figured out the cosmic forces holding our solar system together before we realized "hey, maybe wash those plague hands before delivering babies?" Talk about priorities! 🪐🧼

The most scientifically accurate epitaph in cemetery history! Instead of the usual "Rest in Peace," this physicist went with the thermodynamically precise "My atoms have gained entropy." It's basically saying "I've died" but in the language of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. When we die, our organized biological systems break down, and our atoms scatter into more disordered states—literally increasing entropy. Howard clearly wanted his final message to follow the fundamental laws of physics even in death. The universe tends toward disorder, and so did Howard!

Imagine chilling in 1686 and suddenly Newton drops his First Law of Motion on you! People's minds were BLOWN when he basically said "stuff stays put unless you push it." Before this, everyone thought objects naturally wanted to stop moving. Newton was like "nope, inertia is a thing" and the whole world had to recalibrate their understanding of physics! That face is exactly how people reacted when their entire worldview got flipped upside down by some dude with an apple and too much free time.
