The Law Of Conservation Of Passing Grades

Physics is just trying so hard to convince everyone it's a legitimate science and not wizardry in disguise. Sure, you've got your "radioactive isotopes" (definitely not enchanted death rocks), "electromagnetic levitation" (not magical floating spells), and "vector calculus" (absolutely not arcane runes). The desperate "THEY ARE NOT RUNES SHUT UP" has the same energy as someone caught wearing a wizard hat insisting it's "just a fancy sun protector." The Cherenkov radiation glow? Totally scientific and not souls being harvested. That lab equipment? Just standard chemistry apparatus, not demon summoning paraphernalia at all! The cognitive dissonance of physicists is delightful - using incomprehensible symbols to explain invisible forces while frantically denying any similarity to the occult.

The first panel shows Mr. Incredible calmly accepting that pressure in 3D space is force over area (N/m²). But when the concept jumps to 4D space, where pressure becomes force over volume (N/m³), his brain short-circuits into existential horror. This is dimensional analysis having a mental breakdown. Just like how my students look when I casually mention "and of course, if we extend this to n-dimensional space..." right before an exam. The fourth dimension doesn't care about your comfort zone—it's coming for your sanity whether you're ready or not.

Dating a physicist has its perks! While others think "show me what those fingers can do" has only one interpretation, physics nerds flex with the right-hand rule for cross products and magnetic fields. Nothing says "I'm turned on" quite like demonstrating vector multiplication with your digits. The left hand shows the cross product (a×b) direction, while the right hand illustrates the magnetic field (B) and current (I) relationship. Who needs roses when you can explain electromagnetism?

Engineering students know the pain! While normal people experience "moments" of joy and laughter with ice cream, engineers experience actual moments - those pesky force calculations that haunt our textbooks and nightmares. Nothing says romance like calculating 1604 lb·ft of torque while everyone else is enjoying dessert. Next time someone asks about your special moments, just hand them a free-body diagram and watch their soul leave their body.

The existential crisis of every physicist summed up in one error message! Trying to check your job's COVID exposure risk only to be told your entire career doesn't exist? Classic. Meanwhile, engineers and doctors get all the validation. The system probably recognizes "quantum mechanic" though—you know, for people who fix broken wave functions and repair uncertainty principles with a wrench. Next time try "professional photon herder" or "gravity enthusiast" instead!
