This brilliant physics pun is giving me LIFE! Newton tells his student "Kid, you've got potential" and then as the student falls off a height, Newton adds "lots and lots of potential..." 😂

It's playing on the double meaning of "potential" - both having promise as a student AND potential energy in physics (which increases with height). The higher you go, the more potential energy you have... until gravity turns it into kinetic energy during the fall!

Newton's just standing there watching his physics lesson play out in real-time. Talk about hands-on education! Nothing teaches gravitational potential energy like a little free fall demonstration!
