The mental breakdown progression is REAL! Undergrad thermodynamics: "PV=nRT, easy peasy!" Then grad school statistical mechanics hits and suddenly you're deriving the ideal gas law from quantum partition functions while questioning your life choices. That moment when you realize all those simple equations were just the tip of the mathematical iceberg and now you're drowning in integrals and probability distributions! The jump from "here's a formula" to "now prove why the universe works this way" is enough to make anyone contemplate their existence. Physics doesn't get harder - YOU get more traumatized!
