The eternal physics struggle! The right-hand rule is what happens when scientists decided to use our appendages as cosmic directional guides. Option A or B? Physicists everywhere are sweating bullets trying to remember which way their fingers should point to determine magnetic fields and cross products. The universe doesn't care about our arbitrary hand gestures, but somehow we've built entire electromagnetic theories around which way our thumbs wiggle! Next time your phone's compass works, thank some physicist who correctly contorted their hand like they were casting a wizard spell. 🧙‍♂️⚡
