He Could Do Better

The perfect quantum physics survey doesn't exi— Oh wait, it does and it doesn't. The highlighter circle brilliantly represents Schrödinger's superposition principle – the answer exists in both states simultaneously until observed. Just like that poor cat who's trapped in quantum limbo between life and death, this survey response is both "yes" and "no" until someone collapses its wavefunction by actually reading it. Twenty bucks says the person who created this failed their quantum mechanics exam but clearly understood the material better than anyone else in class.

This brutally honest physics textbook introduction might be the most accurate summary of the field ever written. Four centuries of physics progress distilled into "we figured out some stuff, broke other stuff, and still have no clue about... *checks notes*... basically everything important." The list of unsolved problems is just chef's kiss. Quantum mechanics, cosmology, thermodynamics, relativity, fluid dynamics, and time itself? Minor details we'll sort out eventually. Probably.

Engineering students everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force! This is what happens when you take "approximation" to its logical extreme. The image shows a highway with a massive gap between sections, and the caption is basically every physics professor's favorite phrase when they want to simplify calculations. For those who slept through Physics 101: π (pi) is actually 3.14159... and gravitational acceleration (g) is 9.8 m/s². Rounding these values makes calculations easier but, uh, might lead to structural disasters like this bridge that clearly didn't account for those pesky decimal points! Next time your professor says "let's simplify," maybe ask if they're also designing bridges in their spare time.

The internal struggle of every engineering student when someone brings up perpetual motion machines! First instinct: "I don't have time to explain thermodynamics to you." Second instinct: "But if I don't correct this fundamental misconception, I might spontaneously combust." This perfectly captures the engineering dilemma - do you politely ignore scientific impossibilities in casual conversation, or do you become that person who can't help but explain why the laws of thermodynamics make perpetual motion machines impossible? The struggle is real!

The sweet irony of quantum mechanics strikes again! 🧪⚡ The teacher thinks they're being clever by throwing in electron travel directions to confuse students, but our accidental hero stumbles onto the correct answer through pure cosmic coincidence. It's like when I accidentally created a superconductor while trying to reheat yesterday's pizza! Sometimes in science, being completely wrong in the right way is indistinguishable from brilliance. Remember kids, in physics as in life: two negatives really DO make a positive!

The simple definition of a meter? Boring. The absurdly precise scientific definition that involves krypton atoms and light traveling through vacuum? Now we're talking! 🔬 This is peak science humor capturing how scientists love to take something straightforward and turn it into the most complicated explanation possible. The original meter definition (a platinum-iridium bar) was replaced in 1983 with this mind-bending definition based on the speed of light. Fun fact: The definition has actually been updated again! Since 2019, a meter is defined by taking the fixed value of the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s) and the definition of a second. Scientists just can't leave well enough alone!
