The perfect illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in quantum physics! On the left, we have the self-proclaimed expert from "r/iamverysmart" having an absolute meltdown over someone questioning their expertise. They've "intimately studied" quantum mechanics and developed theories on "quantum immortality" (which, spoiler alert, isn't exactly mainstream physics).
Meanwhile, the actual physics student on the right has achieved true enlightenment through suffering. After being broken by quantum mathematics and the sheer weirdness of wave-particle duality, they've reached the zen-like state of "I don't know a thing about anything." This is the scientific equivalent of climbing the mountain only to realize how small you are!
The irony? Real quantum physicists would be the first to admit how bizarre and counterintuitive their field is. As Richard Feynman famously said, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics."
