Gotta Remember Buoyancy Correction

The physics lab horror story in three acts:

Act 1: Naive physicist thinks "mass of bricks equals mass of feathers" - simple enough!

Act 2: Realization hits that density matters (ρBricks > ρfeathers). The sweat begins.

Act 3: Full breakdown as buoyancy correction enters the chat with those horrifying formulas accounting for air displacement. That beautiful bell curve shows the distribution of mental stability during precise measurements.

This is why physicists wake up screaming at 2AM. Your "simple" mass measurement just became a nightmare of air density corrections, and now your lab report is due tomorrow. The 58% in the middle? Those are the ones still trying to convince themselves that rounding errors are acceptable.
