Facebook Physicist Breaks Special Relativity With One Weird Trick

The ultimate collection of scientific self-owns! Each field gets brilliantly roasted by its own terminology: • Math jokes need proof (mathematical rigor demands formal proofs) • Linkin Park jokes "don't matter" (referencing their song "In The End") • Orthodox jokes must be canonical (officially recognized by religious authority) • Mechanical jokes need to fit (like machine parts) • Aerodynamics jokes must land (aircraft landing) • Philosophy jokes question why (the fundamental philosophical question) • Civil engineering jokes are under construction (building infrastructure) • Economics jokes follow demand principles (supply and demand) • Statistics jokes must be significant (statistical significance in hypothesis testing) The nerdiest thread ever to make me actually snort-laugh while studying!

This meme brilliantly juxtaposes fictional Star Destroyers from Star Wars with an actual stellar explosion! The top panels show Imperial Star Destroyer spacecraft, but the punchline delivers a supernova - the most spectacular stellar death in the universe. When massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they collapse under gravity and explode with energy equivalent to 10^44 joules - enough to briefly outshine entire galaxies! Talk about putting the "destroy" in Star Destroyer. Fictional spaceships might look intimidating, but nothing in science fiction compares to the raw power of astrophysics in action. Nature's special effects budget is literally astronomical.

The eternal struggle between chemistry and physics students! While chemists spend their days drawing endless benzene rings and carbon structures (hexagons everywhere!), physics textbooks are just mathematical equations and abstract concepts. To a chemist, a book without hexagonal molecular structures is practically unreadable - like trying to read a novel without vowels. The look of utter confusion on Gaston's face perfectly captures that "where are all my beautiful carbon rings??" moment that every organic chemistry student experiences when venturing outside their hexagon-filled comfort zone.

This is literally the most meta science joke ever! Just like how textbooks leave proofs as "exercises for the reader" when they're too lazy (or the proof is too obvious), this meme does exactly the same thing. It's the quantum superposition of all possible science memes simultaneously - until you observe it by using your imagination! Your brain is now doing computational work while the meme creator gets to relax. Brilliant energy conservation strategy.

The scientific hierarchy in all its puppet-mastering glory! Math sits at the top pulling the strings of Physics, who controls Chemistry, who manipulates Biology, who yanks around Psychology, who's probably controlling some poor undergrad we can't even see. This is the academic food chain that no professor will admit to but secretly knows is true. Pure mathematicians love nothing more than reminding everyone they're the puppet masters of all science—right before they fail to calculate a proper tip at dinner. The irony is exquisite.

The ultimate temperature showdown featuring SpongeBob! At 100°, Celsius is literally on fire (water boils!), Fahrenheit is sweating but manageable (just a hot summer day), while Kelvin is chillin' at a frigid -173°C (−280°F). That's cold enough to freeze oxygen into a liquid! The beauty of this meme is how it perfectly illustrates why scientists prefer Kelvin—it's the only scale where 100 isn't trying to kill you or make you uncomfortably sweaty. Next time someone complains about 100° weather, just ask "which scale?" and watch their existential crisis unfold.
