Quantum Gravity Researchers' Emotional Spectrum

The eternal crisis of quantum gravity researchers captured in one perfect bell curve! On one side, we've got the simple "I don't know what gravity is" crowd (honest, at least). In the middle, the textbook definition "gravity is just the curvature of spacetime" gang who memorized Einstein without understanding him. And then... the PhD meltdown zone – where 70+ years of minimal progress has researchers contemplating the sweet release of gravity itself while publishing papers about "quantum fruit loops" just to justify their existence.

Quantum gravity remains physics' ultimate unsolved puzzle – where general relativity and quantum mechanics refuse to play nice together. No wonder these researchers are losing it after decades of string theory dead ends and $57K salaries. The distribution perfectly maps the stages of academic grief: blissful ignorance → textbook regurgitation → existential breakdown.
