Physics students having existential crises is basically a rite of passage! The meme shows someone absolutely losing it after encountering d-2/3 notation, which refers to a down quark with a -2/3 electric charge.
Plot twist: down quarks actually have a -1/3 charge, not -2/3! That's what makes this meme hilarious to particle physicists. It's like writing "H₂O₃" for water - the reaction is appropriate because the person just committed quantum heresy. The universe might actually implode if you wrote that on your particle physics exam.
