The infamous "spherical cow" - where theoretical physicists strip away all those pesky real-world complications like, you know, actual cow shape. "Consider a perfectly spherical cow in vacuum" is basically physics-speak for "I'm going to ignore everything that makes this problem hard." Sure, it makes the math work out beautifully, but good luck milking that geometric monstrosity. Next week: frictionless chickens and point-mass elephants!
