Newton And Coulomb: The Original Homework Copiers

Newton And Coulomb: The Original Homework Copiers

Look at these two scientific copycats in their natural habitat! Newton's over there with his gravitational force equation (F = G m₁m₂/d²) thinking he's all original, while Coulomb's giving him the side-eye because his electrostatic force equation (F = k q₁q₂/r²) is basically the same formula with different letters! 😂

It's the ultimate "can I copy your homework?" moment in physics history! Except Coulomb came along nearly 100 years later, so it's more like "I'll just change it enough so the teacher won't notice." The universe really does have a formula fetish for inverse square relationships!
