Nuclear Fusion Go Brrrrrrr

The mathematical trauma is real! When you're trying to solve a problem using Taylor series, those higher-order terms start looking like unwanted guests at your calculation party. Just like Woody getting tossed aside, mathematicians routinely discard these terms with a casual "negligible for small values" hand-wave. The irony? Those abandoned terms often contain the exact complexity you were trying to avoid by using the approximation in the first place. Next time your professor says "just ignore the higher order terms," remember that somewhere, those terms are crying "I don't want to play with you anymore."

Starting with "equations describe physical things" and ending with "THE UNIVERSE IS AN EQUATION" is the perfect representation of what happens when physicists get too deep into the quantum rabbit hole! 🐇 It's that moment when you go from normal science to full cosmic enlightenment in six easy steps! First, you're just writing formulas for gravity, then suddenly you're contemplating how fundamental particles are just mathematical constructs, and before you know it—BAM!—you're arguing that reality itself is just a solution to some cosmic differential equation! The Wheeler-DeWitt equation actually tries to describe the entire universe as a wave function with no time parameter. Basically, it's what happens when theoretical physicists have unlimited coffee budget and no supervision for decades.

When electrical engineering meets Norse mythology! Each Thor variant wields a different electronic component symbol as his hammer. RESISTHOR opposes current flow with his zigzag hammer. INDUCTHOR stores energy in magnetic fields with his coiled weapon. CAPACITHOR holds electric charge between his parallel plates. And TRANSISTHOR controls the flow of electrons with his semiconductor junction symbol. Together they form the Avengers of circuit design, ready to battle any impedance mismatch or signal noise that threatens the realm of electronics!

Einstein wasn't about that sappy romance life! Why waste time writing love letters when you could be revolutionizing physics instead? The greatest physicist in history knew his priorities—scribbling sweet nothings? Hard pass! But equations that bend space and time? *chef's kiss* That's the real way to someone's heart! Next time you're feeling romantic, skip the poetry and just derive the theory of relativity together. Nothing says "I love you" like E=mc²!

Temporal shenanigans at their finest! The top panel shows "normies" using time travel for boring family reunions, while the bottom panel reveals what happens when scientific legends get their hands on a time machine—they crash each other's parties! This is basically the temporal equivalent of finding out your crush is at the same restaurant. "Oh hey, Stephen Hawking, fancy meeting you here in the space-time continuum! Love what you did with those black hole theories!" Fun physics fact: Hawking actually threw a party for time travelers in 2009 but didn't announce it until after it happened. If someone showed up, it would prove time travel exists! Spoiler alert: nobody came. Or maybe they just hated his punch.

The physics pickup lines are strong with this one. From quantum states ("I'm down"/"I'm up") to the observer effect ("behave differently when you're observing"), this conversation hits all the quantum mechanics sweet spots. The "infinitely large potential barrier" reference is particularly nerdy - that's quantum tunneling humor for you. In classical physics, particles can't cross energy barriers higher than their own energy, but quantum mechanics says "hold my beer" and lets particles tunnel through anyway. Romance at the subatomic level is complicated, yet somehow still follows Heisenberg's uncertainty principle - the more precisely you measure the attraction, the less certain you are about where the relationship is going.
