Scientists in 2015: "We've detected gravitational waves, confirming Einstein's century-old prediction!"
Everyone else: "You're telling me you needed billion-dollar equipment just to prove gravity exists? I could've dropped my phone for free."
The meme perfectly captures that moment when physicists were ecstatic about one of the greatest scientific confirmations of the century while the rest of humanity was giving them that "no duh" look. It's like celebrating you've proven water is wet by building a $1.1 billion machine.
