Schrödinger's Multiverse

The statistical distribution of physics misconceptions is beautifully illustrated here. At both ends of the IQ bell curve, people confidently assert that "starships have to accelerate to keep their speed" - a direct violation of Newton's first law. Meanwhile, the enlightened middle correctly points out "there is no friction in space," meaning objects maintain constant velocity without additional force. This is what happens when you skip the week they covered inertia in physics class. Veritasium viewers are now collectively facepalming across the universe.

This student deserves an A+ for turning Bernoulli's principle into a donut-making tutorial! Nothing says "I understand fluid dynamics" quite like explaining pressure differentials with pastries. The spraying donut example is pure genius—because who hasn't thought "you know what would make these equations more relatable? DONUTS!" 🍩 The transition from serious fluid mechanics to circular fried dough is the kind of creative thinking that would make Daniel Bernoulli himself say, "Why didn't I think of that in 1738?" This is exactly what happens when hunger strikes during finals week—suddenly every physics problem can be solved with snacks!

Running into a burning building only to rescue Physics while leaving Biology and Chemistry to perish? That's peak STEM favoritism right there! The scientific hierarchy in action - Physics gets the VIP evacuation treatment while other disciplines are left to calculate their own survival probabilities. Every science student knows that one subject that becomes their ride-or-die while the others just... well, die. Sorry Chemistry, your bonds weren't strong enough today!

Remember when your curious little brain wanted to understand EVERYTHING about the universe? Fast forward to engineering school, and suddenly you're crying tears of joy when your professor says "just treat it as a point mass and rigid body" instead of calculating every atom's position! 🧠➡️📏 In physics, this simplification is pure bliss - we ignore all the complex internal movements and just pretend objects are either single points or solid chunks that don't deform. It's the difference between writing a 20-page equation and just saying "F=ma" while smugly sipping your coffee. The intellectual glow-up we never expected!

The glorious intersection of thermodynamics and culinary disaster! This steak is basically Schrödinger's dinner - simultaneously burnt to carbon on the outside while remaining raw inside. Physicists see this and think "perfect demonstration of heat transfer principles and thermal conductivity!" The exterior has reached combustion temperature while the interior remains in a different thermodynamic universe. That red glow? Practically a blackbody radiation experiment you can eat! Well, technically eat. Kirchhoff and Bunsen would indeed need to "cook" - but to develop better understanding of heat distribution, not methamphetamine. Breaking Bad references aside, this is what happens when you apply too much heat too quickly without allowing proper thermal equilibrium. Science: making your dinner both a fire hazard AND a biohazard simultaneously!

Peak Dunning-Kruger effect in its natural habitat! Our confident butcher friend here believes he's outsmarted renewable energy engineers with his "groundbreaking" discovery that wind turbines must become energy vampires 50% of the time. Little does he know that wind turbines are designed to rotate and face the wind direction (that's what those motors at the top do). They literally have wind vanes and yaw drives that continuously adjust the turbine position to maximize efficiency. Engineers spent decades perfecting this technology while he was perfecting his pork chop technique. It's like claiming cars would drive backward half the time because "statistically 50% of roads go the other direction."
