Calculate The Probability Of Collapse

Marvel thinks they invented the ultimate crossover? Please. Physics assembled the original superhero team back when most people still traveled by horse. This legendary 1927 Solvay Conference photo is basically the Avengers of quantum mechanics—except instead of saving the universe, these folks were busy figuring out how it actually works. Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Curie... more intellectual firepower in one room than in all of Tony Stark's labs combined. And unlike Marvel characters, these geniuses actually existed and revolutionized our understanding of reality without a single CGI effect. Their equations still work even when the movie budget runs out.

The ultimate academic switcheroo! Music teachers think complex equations are impossibly hard, while physics professors think musical notation is child's play. Meanwhile, both are equally mystifying to the rest of us mortals who can't tell a quaver from a quasar! Perspective is everything in academia - your "basic knowledge" is someone else's PhD thesis. Next time someone says "it's not rocket science," show them a treble clef and watch their brain short-circuit!

The ultimate physics flex! Taking Einstein's wisdom about intelligent people ignoring problems and applying it to... ignoring air resistance in physics problems. Because nothing says "big brain energy" like pretending friction doesn't exist while calculating trajectories. Physics students everywhere nodding knowingly while their professors sigh. The green brain meme perfectly captures that smug satisfaction when you simplify a complex problem by just... pretending real-world factors don't exist. Theoretical physicists have been doing this for centuries - why stop now?

Finding common ground in confusion! Dynamics—that terrifying realm where Newton's laws meet calculus in a dark alley and beat up your brain. Even engineering students break into cold sweats when forces start moving. It's that subject where professors write equations, students nod knowingly, and absolutely nobody has any idea what's happening. The universal language of engineering students isn't math—it's the shared trauma of dynamics homework!

Physics students having an existential meltdown when told they suck at math, while engineering students just casually nodding in agreement is the most accurate representation of academic hierarchy I've ever seen. Physics majors spend years convincing themselves they're mathematical geniuses only to have their identity shattered by a single insult. Meanwhile, engineers already embraced their mathematical mediocrity and built entire bridges with it. The stoic "We know" is engineering in a nutshell—practical enough to admit their limitations and still confident enough to design nuclear reactors. That's not imposter syndrome, that's self-awareness!

The rules of chemistry and physics might get broken occasionally, but try messing with thermodynamics and the universe itself will hunt you down! The first two panels show a calm, collected Mr. Incredible when chemistry and physics laws are broken—because honestly, we've all seen those weird exceptions that make textbooks obsolete. But thermodynamics? Those laws are like cosmic bouncers that don't care about your VIP pass. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and entropy always increases... just like my anxiety when someone suggests we can build a perpetual motion machine. The second law of thermodynamics is basically the universe saying "nice try, but everything eventually turns into a hot mess."
