Does This Make Sense? (Spoiler: It Doesn't)

physics-memes, conservation-of-mass-memes, density-memes, fictional-science-memes, superhero-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The physics in this meme is about as solid as a quantum fluctuation in a vacuum! Pym Particles supposedly reduce distance between atoms (increasing density) without changing mass or weight—which violates basic conservation laws faster than you can say "thermodynamics."

Then we see the particles being used to shrink everything from a tank to a keychain to a whole building. If density increases but mass stays the same, that tiny ant-sized human should create a person-shaped crater in the floor with every step!

It's the perfect example of Hollywood physics—where conservation of mass is just a pesky suggestion that gets in the way of a cool shrinking superhero. Next up: perpetual motion machines powered by plot convenience!

Reduced Π Constant

The mathematical revelation that's blowing Einstein's wild hair back! First he's contemplating Planck's constant divided by 2π (ℏ), but then—EUREKA!—he realizes that π/2π = 1/2. That moment when you simplify an equation and discover you've been overthinking it the entire time! Mathematicians call this "reducing fractions," but Einstein calls it "why didn't I think of this sooner?!" Next up: discovering that E=mc² can be simplified to E/m=c². MIND. BLOWN.

Physics Coffee: When Tension Becomes Torture

Newton's third law has entered the chat! This brilliant tension-based paradox is exactly what physics professors dream up at night. The table appears to be supported by buckets resting on it, but those same buckets are suspended from the ceiling by strings attached to the table itself. It's a closed system of forces that shouldn't work—yet there it hangs, mocking our intuition. Students would need to analyze the tension forces, weight distribution, and structural integrity to explain why this setup doesn't immediately crash to the floor. The real genius is how it perfectly captures that sadistic joy professors feel when crafting problems that make students question reality itself.

Italian Astrophysicists Love Their Antipasti

The cosmic connection between pasta and particle physics is uncanny! Italian astrophysicists aren't just cooking up theories about the universe—they're seeing their beloved pasta shapes everywhere in scientific visualizations. Those diagrams on the right? That's not a pasta catalog, but actual representations of cosmic structures and particle distributions that happen to look exactly like various pasta types. From spaghetti-like filaments connecting galactic superclusters to fusilli-shaped particle trajectories, the universe apparently has excellent taste in Italian cuisine. Next time someone asks about dark matter distribution, just hand them a menu from your local trattoria!

Electrostatics: When Your Cat Becomes A Walking Physics Demonstration

Behold! The perfect visual demonstration of "electric charges at rest." This cat has clearly mastered the art of static attraction better than most physics professors. Those styrofoam packing peanuts aren't just stuck—they've found their lowest energy state on the feline conductor. Next time your physics teacher asks for a practical example of electrostatics, just show them this cat who's clearly living its best charged life. The funniest part? That cat's face says "I meant to do this" even though we all know it just rolled around in a shipping box and became a walking science experiment. Static cling: 1, Cat dignity: 0.

Nothing Is Ever Negligible

That moment when your physics professor drops the bomb! You're happily solving a free-fall problem with those beautiful simplified equations, and then BAM—someone mentions air resistance. Suddenly your nice clean v = √(2gh) turns into a differential equation nightmare! The joy of introductory physics is the beautiful lie that air resistance doesn't exist... until it does. Welcome to the real world, where nothing is ever as simple as the textbook problems want you to believe!

The Electric Avenging Circuit

Behold! The mighty Avenger has traded Mjolnir for electrical components! This electrifying pun-fest combines Marvel's thunder god with basic circuit elements. RecisThor opposes current flow, CapaciThor stores electrical charge, InduThor creates magnetic fields with coiled wire, and TransisThor controls the flow of electrons. By Ohm's beard, it's the superhero team-up that engineering students didn't know they needed! Next time your circuit fails, just ask yourself: "What Would Thor Conduct?"
