No I Think A Fluid Dynamics Specialist Designed It

The meme brilliantly plays on the word "atom" by creating a visual pun: "Atom" → "look inside" → plum + pudding, which references the obsolete "plum pudding model" of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in 1904. In this early atomic model, electrons were thought to be embedded throughout a positively charged substance like plums in a pudding. The cat's wide-eyed reaction perfectly captures how modern physicists feel about this hilariously outdated model that was disproven by Rutherford's gold foil experiment. Scientists abandoned this model over a century ago, but it remains a charming relic of scientific history that makes physics nerds snicker uncontrollably.

Nothing says "high school heartthrob" like casually dropping quantum physics terms! Bose-Einstein Condensate is literally atoms cooled to near absolute zero until they behave as a single quantum entity—but these girls aren't impressed by the science, they're impressed by the AUDACITY! It's like watching someone try to attract a mate by performing particle physics mating calls in the wild. "Look at me, I can explain the fifth state of matter!" *teenage swooning intensifies* Meanwhile, actual physicists are crying into their lab notebooks wondering why this never worked for them in high school!

Ever had that moment when you're dancing like nobody's watching, then suddenly realize someone IS watching? That's EXACTLY what electrons go through in quantum physics! 🤣 This is the famous wave-particle duality and observer effect in action! Electrons cruise around as probability waves until we try to measure them - then BAM! They collapse into particles with definite positions, basically throwing a quantum tantrum like "I was VIBING as a wave until you ruined it!" It's like the universe's tiniest stage fright. No wonder Heisenberg was uncertain about everything!

The existential crisis hits hard when you discover that mathematically perfect circles are just theoretical fantasies! Even the roundest objects in nature have microscopic imperfections. Zoom in far enough on any "circle" and you'll find jagged edges and quantum uncertainty ruining your geometrical dreams. Plato would be crushed! The universe basically looked at Euclidean geometry and said "that's cute, but nope." Even black holes, which seem perfectly circular from afar, have quantum fluctuations at their event horizons. The gap between mathematical ideals and physical reality is enough to make anyone tear up like Thanos realizing his perfect balance is impossible too!

The classic 2x2 matrix of academic despair. Chemistry students exist in four quantum states: understanding the material and passing, understanding but failing anyway, not understanding but somehow passing (pure statistical luck), or the most common state—clueless and failing spectacularly. The title reference to Schrödinger's cat is apt—until you take the exam, you simultaneously exist in all states of chemical comprehension and incomprehension. Trust me, I've occupied that bottom-left quadrant more times than I care to admit during my PhD. Passed without understanding a single reaction mechanism. My advisor still doesn't know.

The eternal truth of scientific textbook lifespans! Physics books become doorstops after a few paradigm shifts (sorry Newton), and chemistry texts turn into historical fiction once we discover new elements or particles. But mathematics? Those ancient theorems from thousands of years ago still crush it in modern classrooms. Pythagoras would totally high-five a calculus student today. The Pythagorean theorem hasn't needed a software update since 500 BCE, while physics and chemistry are basically subscription services with mandatory upgrades. Mathematical truth is the cockroach of academia - utterly indestructible!
