Einstein: "Nothing can travel faster than light!"
Some troll with a VCR: "Hold my beer."
The beauty of this meme is in its delightful scientific inaccuracy. Recording light and then fast-forwarding through the playback doesn't actually make the light travel faster—it just makes you watch it faster. It's like saying you traveled from New York to Tokyo in 5 seconds because you skipped ahead in a travel documentary.
Einstein's special relativity established that nothing with mass can reach the speed of light (299,792,458 meters per second), much less exceed it. The troll face perfectly captures that smug feeling when you think you've outsmarted one of history's greatest minds with a VCR button. Spoiler alert: you haven't.
