Quantum mechanics has trust issues! This meme brilliantly captures the bizarre reality of the observer effect - electrons literally changing their behavior when someone's watching them. Left panel: "Just act normal." Right panel: "Is that scientist STILL looking at me??" The electron goes from particle to wave depending on who's peeking. It's like that friend who mysteriously behaves differently whenever their crush walks into the room. Physics' ultimate game of "I know you're watching me!"
