Newton's sitting there with his gravity equation (F = G m₁m₂/d²) when he catches Coulomb basically copying his homework but for electric charges (F = k q₁q₂/r²). The side-eye is INTENSE.
It's the physics equivalent of "Can I copy your work?" "Sure, just change it a bit so it's not obvious." Except Coulomb literally just swapped masses for charges and called it a day. Talk about intellectual theft with style! Newton's probably thinking, "Inverse square relationship? That was MY thing, you electrifying plagiarist!"
