Roses Are Red, Violets Are Doppler-Shifted

This meme is a brilliant play on the classic poem format but with a relativistic twist! It's referencing the Doppler effect in physics where wavelengths of light shift toward the blue end of the spectrum when objects move toward you, and toward the red end when they move away. So those roses would actually change color depending on how fast they're zooming past you! Einstein would be proud of this shower thought - turning romantic poetry into a physics lesson. The fact that it got 7.4k upvotes proves that nerds truly rule the internet.
