The perfect visual metaphor for physics! The top image shows a chaotic brawl - exactly how physicists feel trying to agree on quantum interpretations. Copenhagen? Many-worlds? Pilot wave? It's basically an intellectual street fight.

Meanwhile, the bottom shows a civilized meeting with people in suits calmly discussing SI units. "The meter is the length light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds." "Indeed, good sir." *sips tea*

Nothing captures physics better than the fact we can precisely define how many cesium-133 oscillations make a second, but still can't agree if Schrödinger's cat is alive, dead, or somehow both until we peek in the box. Priorities!
