But Without Air Resistance

physics-memes, textbooks-memes, idealized-memes, air-resistance-memes, frictionless-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The infamous "assume a frictionless surface" strikes again! Physics textbooks love creating these bizarrely simplified scenarios where basic laws of nature just... don't apply. Sure, let's ignore air resistance, friction, and apparently gravity's selective application while we're at it. The person in the cart gets normal physics, but the poor soul hanging below? Nope, they're just dangling in theoretical physics purgatory. This is exactly why students think physics is disconnected from reality. Next problem: "Calculate the velocity of this wagon assuming the pool is filled with inviscid fluid and the child is a perfect sphere."

No Lies Detected: Ohm's Law Of Protest

This electrical engineering wordplay is absolutely electrifying! The joke cleverly connects Ohm's Law (where resistance = voltage/current) with social resistance. More monks = more "ohms" = greater resistance to authority. It's a perfect circuit of humor that connects Buddhist monks' peaceful protests with the fundamental principles of electrical resistance. The punchline delivers a shocking amount of voltage to your funny bone while being scientifically accurate. Physics teachers everywhere are simultaneously groaning and adding this to their lesson slides.

Quantum Dairy: When Food Shopping Gets Subatomic

The perfect collision of dairy and particle physics! Someone innocently asks where to find large containers of flavored Quark (a popular European dairy product) and gets told to "Try CERN" - you know, just the world's largest particle physics laboratory where they study actual quarks, the fundamental particles of matter! The commenter even throws in a physics joke about "up and down flavor" quarks being cheaper than the exotic varieties. The poster's delayed "Oh I get it now" moment is the cherry on top of this delicious scientific wordplay sundae!

I Found The One... Ohm

Finally, someone who found their perfect match - a resistor earring! That blue beauty is showing off its color bands like it's ready for a circuit board prom. Electrical engineers everywhere are swooning at this display of ohm-bodied fashion. The resistance is futile when it comes to this level of nerd chic! Next-level dating strategy: find someone whose impedance perfectly matches yours so there's zero power reflection in the relationship.

The Physics Enlightenment Speedrun

The perfect representation of scientific enlightenment in four frames! Starting with the basic existential realization, then leveling up to molecular composition (chemistry 101), before diving into quantum physics where particles behave as waves. The final boss level? String theory - where everything is supposedly tiny vibrating strings. It's like watching someone speedrun through a physics degree in 10 seconds flat. The increasingly mind-blown expressions perfectly capture that feeling when you realize the universe gets weirder the deeper you look. Your brain on science, folks!

11 Dimensions Go Brr

Einstein established spacetime with a measly 4 dimensions, and string theorists are just sitting there like, "Pathetic." While Einstein revolutionized physics with general relativity's 3 spatial dimensions plus time, string theorists casually toss in 7 extra dimensions before breakfast. They're basically dimensional hoarders who can't stop at a reasonable number. Next faculty meeting, they'll probably announce they found dimension #12 hiding behind the coffee machine.

Conservation of matter? Please. In Minecraft, I can turn a single bucket of water into an infinite source. Take that, Lavoisier! And don't get me started on lava—one block can burn eternally without depleting. Meanwhile, physics teachers are still drawing those boring energy diagrams while I'm over here casually breaking the first law of thermodynamics with a couple of pixelated blocks. Who's the intellectual now, science?
