In Memoria: Particle Collision Funeral

High school physics teachers really be like "ignore air resistance" and then yeet a baby through the atmosphere. Sure, in a perfect vacuum that infant would follow a beautiful parabolic trajectory, but in reality it's more like "Hello, drag force, my old friend." This is why theoretical physicists should never be allowed to babysit. Their simplified models don't account for screaming or child protective services.

The ultimate physics twins! Gravity and electrostatic force strutting around with their matching mathematical formulas like they're wearing the same designer outfit to prom. Both forces decrease with the square of distance (1/r²), making them the OG inverse-square besties of the universe. The only difference? One works with masses, the other with charges. Nature really said "copy-paste, but change it a little so it's not obvious." The universe's most elegant example of code reuse!

Engineering students crying their way through partial differential equations while art majors watch movies? Tale as old as time! The Navier-Stokes equations are basically the mathematical equivalent of trying to describe why water splashes when you drop a rock in it, except it requires several pages of calculus and will probably make you question your life choices. Meanwhile, your friend gets to watch Ryan Gosling dance his way through LA. The universe is clearly playing favorites here. Fun fact: The Navier-Stokes equations are so complex that solving them in 3D space is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems worth $1 million. So technically, if you ace that final, you might be a millionaire someday!

Remember when those pretty chalk equations were just decorative squiggles on your math textbook? Fast forward to college and suddenly you're staring at a blackboard that looks like a mathematician had a seizure while holding chalk! Those innocent symbols mutated into differential equations and quantum notation that haunt your dreams. Your childhood self would be horrified to discover that those "cool math designs" weren't just for show—they're the incantations you now desperately try to decipher at 3 AM before exams! The ultimate mathematical betrayal!

Finally, someone's applied quantum mechanics to explain the universal USB struggle! The meme brilliantly connects our daily tech frustration with complex physics concepts. Just like Schrödinger's cat, your USB exists in multiple states simultaneously until you try to plug it in. That third mysterious state—superposition—is why you're always wrong on the first two attempts. And occasionally, when the USB gods smile upon you, "quantum tunneling" occurs and it magically works despite being in the wrong orientation. Next time someone asks why you failed physics, just tell them you've been conducting USB experiments for years. Your research simply hasn't been peer-reviewed yet.

Gravity's value (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²) is suspiciously close to π² (≈ 9.87). The universe just had to make physics equations look pretty, didn't it? Next you'll tell me the speed of light is exactly 3 × 10⁸ m/s just to make our calculations easier. Sure, "coincidence." Just like how every physics problem conveniently ignores air resistance until grad school. The cosmos: making numbers aesthetically pleasing since the Big Bang.
