Fortran For Physics .F 90 Meme

The scientific jargon industrial complex strikes again! This meme brilliantly captures how we scientists sometimes hide behind unnecessarily complex terminology to sound smarter than we actually are. Quantum chromodynamics? More like "I read three Wikipedia articles and now I'm insufferable at parties" dynamics. The irony of using "quantum" as a prefix to sound intelligent while discussing economic policy is chef's kiss perfect. Next time your physicist friend starts explaining "quantum tunneling probability distribution functions," just ask them to explain it without using words longer than two syllables. Watch them quantum collapse!

Physics is just copying and pasting with different letters! The linear motion equations are sitting there with their v's and x's, while angular motion equations are giving side-eye with their fancy ω's and θ's. It's the same homework assignment but make it spin . Classic physics move—take something straightforward, rotate it, and boom—whole new chapter in the textbook. The professor who invented this probably got tenure for essentially writing "find and replace" in Microsoft Word.

Ever notice how engineering students spend years learning complex physics and mathematics only to graduate and design a sink that splashes water EVERYWHERE? 💦 This sink design is the perfect representation of that gap between theory and practice! The tiny basin paired with that aggressive faucet is basically saying "I understand fluid dynamics in theory, but I choose violence in practice." This is what happens when you optimize for aesthetics instead of function - congratulations, you've created a device that ensures everyone leaves the bathroom looking like they've been swimming! 🏊‍♂️

When engineers use π = 3 and gravity = 10 m/s², physics weeps but bridges still somehow stand. The gap in this highway is the perfect monument to what happens when you round too aggressively in your calculations. Those people are now contemplating whether to trust the math that got them there or the physics that's about to get them down. Pro tip: Always carry a calculator when approaching civil engineering projects designed by someone who thinks circles are triangles.

The scientific field divide is real! While astronomers battle over whether space looks like those dreamy wallpapers (spoiler: it doesn't), particle physicists are just vibing with their incomprehensible Comic Sans diagrams. Nobody has actually seen a quark or gluon—we're just collectively nodding at squiggly lines on whiteboards and saying "sweet." Meanwhile, cosmologists are having emotional breakdowns defending space's beauty. The best part? These are literally the people mapping our entire existence while disagreeing about the aesthetics. Science: where we can split atoms but can't agree on what's pretty.

The perfect visual demonstration of why you should never trust what you see in water! The top panel shows someone seemingly drowning and screaming for help, while the bottom reveals they're actually just chilling with their body comfortably bent at the water's surface. This is Snell's Law in action—light bends when traveling between media with different refractive indices, making objects appear displaced from their actual position. Next time you try to grab that coin at the bottom of the pool, remember it's not actually where you think it is... and neither is that "drowning" swimmer who's probably just enjoying a float!
