Physicists Will Assume Anything

The right-hand rule strikes again! This stick figure just wanted help with vector math and got the most literal demonstration possible. For those who missed linear algebra class: to find the direction of a cross product, you position your right hand with fingers pointing in the first vector's direction, curl them toward the second vector, and your thumb points in the cross product's direction. The silent thumbs-up response is pure mathematical genius - no equations needed, just basic anatomy. Physics students everywhere are having flashbacks to their professors dramatically waving hands around lecture halls.

What we're witnessing here is the classic double-slit experiment going rogue in someone's DIY setup. The yellow filter is supposed to show wave interference patterns, but instead we're getting... whatever this blurry mess is. Textbooks vs. reality, folks! Thirty years of teaching physics and I still can't get undergraduate lab equipment to demonstrate what's in the lecture slides. Next time a student asks "will this be on the exam?" I'll just show them this image and say "only if you can explain why your experiment looks nothing like the theory."

Linear algebra isn't just winning gold medals—it's absolutely crushing the entire mathematical Olympics! From transforming coordinates to solving systems of equations in nanoseconds, this mathematical powerhouse is the Michael Phelps of computational methods. Engineers, physicists, and computer scientists all bow before its matrix-manipulating glory. While other math branches are still trying to qualify for the games, linear algebra is already wearing so many medals it needs reinforced neck muscles. No wonder machine learning algorithms and quantum mechanics can't stop name-dropping it at parties!

Gravity doesn't discriminate, but apparently durian fruits do! Poor Newton got his eureka moment from a gentle apple, while any potential Filipino physicist would've received a concussion and a smell that could clear a laboratory. Natural selection at its finest - survival of the least fragrant fruit-bonked scientists. Had durians been native to England instead, we'd probably still be arguing whether objects fall because they're "just feeling down."

Einstein would be proud of this defense! When caught speeding, nothing beats invoking the theory of relativity. According to physics, speed is indeed relative to the frame of reference—what's 90mph to you might just be 0mph relative to the passenger next to you. Unfortunately for our Einstein wannabe, traffic laws exist in the reference frame of the road, not your theoretical physics textbook. Next time try explaining how time dilation made you late for dinner instead!

Time travel priorities for physicists: correcting Einstein's quantum skepticism, saving Archimedes from Roman execution, and showing Aristotle video evidence that gravity accelerates all objects equally. Let's be honest, any physicist with a time machine would absolutely prioritize settling ancient scientific debates over something trivial like... preventing World War II or investing in Apple stock. Because nothing says "responsible use of revolutionary technology" like telling dead geniuses "I told you so."
