Physics textbooks love to exist in a fantasy realm where ropes have no mass, pulleys have no friction, and cows are perfect spheres. The "massless rope" is the physics equivalent of unicorns—completely imaginary but essential for solving those torturous homework problems. Meanwhile, non-physics students overhearing this nonsense must think we've lost our minds. The perfect reaction is indeed that suspicious Tom face—like "are these people okay?" Physics students casually discussing impossible objects as if they're grocery shopping for massless ropes at the store is peak academic absurdity.
