Three physics giants walk into a traffic stop and pure scientific chaos ensues! Heisenberg's uncertainty principle means he can know his position OR velocity, but never both simultaneously—hence knowing where he is but not his speed. When the cop reveals his speed, Heisenberg's position becomes uncertain ("Now I'm lost!").

Schrödinger's famous thought experiment proposed a cat in a box could be simultaneously alive and dead until observed—so the cat in the trunk existed in both states until the cop looked. No wonder Schrödinger's angry!

And Ohm? The punchline is pure genius—Ohm's Law describes how current flows through resistance. So naturally, he resists arrest! The perfect physics trifecta for anyone who survived freshman physics.
