The eternal frustration of physics students everywhere! That moment when the professor casually drops F = qv × B like it's obvious why magnetic forces act perpendicular to both velocity and field direction.
The cross product (×) in the Lorentz force equation isn't just mathematical notation—it's the source of existential dread for anyone trying to truly understand electromagnetism rather than just memorize it. The right-hand rule helps visualize it, but why nature behaves this way is one of those fundamental questions that can drive you to caps-lock rage.
It's like the universe is trolling us with its elegant yet maddening perpendicularity. No wonder this person is threatening violence—they've clearly been up for 48 hours straight trying to reconcile Maxwell's equations with their intuition.
