Newton's Laws In Elon's Eyes

Dating can be confusing, but you know what's never confusing? Maxwell's equations! While relationships might have their ups and downs, these four fundamental equations of electromagnetism are perfectly consistent. The meme brilliantly plays on the phrase "bigger on bottom than on top" - which in physics refers to Maxwell's equations having more complex terms in the bottom equations (especially that beautiful curl of B with current density and electric field time derivative). Unlike that person who keeps you guessing, Maxwell's equations will always give you the exact same answer every single time you use them. They're the most reliable relationship you'll ever have in physics!

Just like entropy, understanding Applied Thermodynamics only increases in disorder. The second law of academics states that no matter how many practice problems you solve, your comprehension approaches absolute zero faster than a nitrogen-cooled superconductor. The class average of 45% isn't a failure—it's a statistical demonstration that pain is evenly distributed across the system.

Engineering students roasting each other only to discover they're all equally traumatized by statics problems! The meme brilliantly captures that moment when you realize stress and strain calculations have broken everyone's spirit. That final panel with the void-faced "no" is basically every engineering student at 3AM before the mechanics exam. The monkey's comeback is pure gold—turns out nobody can solve these problems without having an existential crisis first.

The eternal STEM rivalry continues! This meme brilliantly captures the hierarchy that secretly exists in science fields. The engineer gets silenced while the physicist gets to speak - a perfect representation of how theoretical physicists think they're the intellectual elite of STEM. It's that moment in every interdisciplinary meeting when the physicist starts explaining why their equations are more fundamental than your actual working prototype. Meanwhile, mathematicians are probably off-screen wondering why anyone bothers with real-world applications at all.

The infamous Throckmorton - physics textbooks' favorite fictional skateboarder who's been falling down inclined planes since 1957. Physics professors apparently decided that "Bob" or "Alice" weren't quirky enough for calculating normal forces. Generations of students have silently wondered if Throckmorton's parents hated him or if textbook writers just enjoy typing unnecessary syllables while creating problems about rigid bodies. Next semester they'll probably introduce his equally fictional cousin, Bartholomew von Fizzlewick, who's constantly dropping eggs from various heights.

Behold, the rare LER in its natural habitat—a resistor that decided career limitations were for lesser components. When your circuit design is so flawed that your resistor starts emitting light, you've either discovered a new physics phenomenon or you're about to file an insurance claim. That burning glow isn't innovation; it's what electrical engineers call "thermal runaway," or as we say in the lab, "time to update your resume." Next week on National Geographic: The migration patterns of smoke particles from your circuit board.
