Physics textbooks living in their own bizarre reality where penguins are perfect cylinders! Next thing you know, they'll tell us cows are perfect spheres in a vacuum. These absurd simplifications are the reason physics students wake up in cold sweats mumbling "frictionless surfaces" and "point masses." The gap between elegant theory and messy reality is basically the Grand Canyon of science. But hey, if you can solve for a cylindrical penguin sliding down a frictionless plane, you're practically ready to solve climate change!
Reality Is Often Disappointing!
