Oh Schwarzschild, That's Not How You Say It!

The ultimate physics burn! While rich folks and beautiful people get to casually dismiss what they have in abundance, physicists are over here living the REAL "doesn't matter" lifestyle! 😂 Every physics student has heard that magical phrase "assume friction is negligible" or "ignore air resistance" about a million times. It's the ultimate academic cop-out - just pretend all those complicated real-world factors don't exist so we can actually solve the problem! The Tom from Tom & Jerry reaction is absolutely perfect because physicists are basically cartoon characters living in an idealized world where pulleys are massless, ropes don't stretch, and everything happens in a vacuum. Meanwhile, engineers are screaming in the background because EVERYTHING ACTUALLY MATTERS IN REAL LIFE!

People in 1685: *happily pushing things that immediately stop when not pushed* Newton, publishing his First Law of Motion: "An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force." Everyone: *mind explodes* Fun fact: Before Newton formalized inertia, people genuinely struggled to explain why objects stopped moving. Aristotle thought objects had a natural tendency to be at rest, which is why we're still recovering from that 2000-year physics facepalm.

Poor decimeter! The forgotten middle child of the metric system! While millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers get all the cuddles and attention (just like that adorable dog), the decimeter sits alone, neglected and confused like that existential cat. It's the scientific equivalent of being left on "read" by the entire scientific community! The cat's progression from confusion to intense existential crisis perfectly captures how the decimeter must feel after centuries of being the metric unit nobody invites to parties. Even rulers skip from centimeters straight to meters—talk about being ghosted by measuring tools!

The statistical perfection here is simply *chef's kiss*! Notice how every country's survey dots are randomly scattered—except Japan's, where they're arranged in a precise grid. In thermodynamics, entropy measures disorder in a system. Low entropy = high order. Japanese culture's famous for precision and organization, and this survey board accidentally became the perfect scientific demonstration! Even their survey participation follows the laws of thermodynamics. The universe tends toward chaos, but apparently Japanese survey participants didn't get the memo.

The cosmic tug-of-war between dark energy and gravity is hilariously captured with buff Doge vs. sad Cheems! Dark energy (the muscular doge) is literally flexing on the universe, accelerating its expansion and threatening to tear everything apart. Meanwhile, gravity (the pitiful Cheems) is desperately trying to hold everything together with its increasingly outmatched attractive force. The "G" on Cheems is *chef's kiss* - representing the gravitational constant that's fighting a losing battle against cosmic acceleration. It's basically the ultimate underdog story playing out over billions of years!

The existential crisis of every physics student captured in four simple panels! First declaring "I'm a physicist" with the confidence of someone who just survived their first quantum mechanics exam. Then comes the crushing self-doubt that haunts every scientist from undergrad to tenure: "Are you good enough to call yourself that?" But the punchline is what makes this painfully accurate - being a physicist isn't about brilliance, it's about being "too dumb to stop" banging your head against impossible problems until something finally makes sense. Newton didn't discover gravity because he was smart; he discovered it because he was too stubborn to give up when the math got weird. The perfect encapsulation of scientific persistence: not genius, just pathological determination in the face of repeated failure. Graduate school in four panels!
