Theoretical physicists trying to sound impressive at conferences be like 😂
Everyone's pitching the same quantum field theory with fancy modifiers while pretending they've revolutionized physics! It's basically the scientific equivalent of ordering a "venti half-caf soy latte with an extra shot and light foam" when you could've just said "coffee."
The joke hits hard because the electroweak model (which unified electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces) really did spawn countless variations that sound impressive but often just tweak the math without changing much fundamentally. Physicists in the wild absolutely do this - adding increasingly complex jargon to stand out in a crowded field!
