The Six Stages Of Physics Grief

While Europe was battling the bubonic plague, Isaac Newton was chilling at home playing with prisms and discovering the entire visible light spectrum! Talk about productive quarantine! 🌈 Fun fact: Newton actually did retreat to his family home in 1665-1666 during a plague outbreak and used this isolation time to develop calculus, optics theories, and his laws of motion. Meanwhile, I can barely finish a Netflix series during lockdown! That's what I call a grave difference in productivity!

Someone's been paying attention in physics class but skipping cooking 101! The question brilliantly applies thermodynamics to culinary arts in the most ridiculous way possible. Technically, you'd need to slap a chicken at about 1,665 m/s (3,725 mph) to generate enough thermal energy to cook it in one go. That's approximately 23,034 slaps of average force. So unless you've got superhuman slapping abilities or really hate that particular chicken, maybe just use an oven? The beautiful marriage of physics and absurdity here is what makes science both fascinating and hilarious.

When electrical engineering meets Norse mythology! Each Thor variant wields a different electronic component symbol as his hammer. RESISTHOR opposes current flow with his zigzag hammer. INDUCTHOR stores energy in magnetic fields with his coiled weapon. CAPACITHOR holds electric charge between his parallel plates. And TRANSISTHOR controls the flow of electrons with his semiconductor junction symbol. Together they form the Avengers of circuit design, ready to battle any impedance mismatch or signal noise that threatens the realm of electronics!

Nothing says "welcome to statistical mechanics" quite like a casual mention of two pioneers who offed themselves after staring into the mathematical abyss. That highlighted passage is basically academic code for "this subject might drive you insane, but hey, at least you're warned!" The textbook author deserves a medal for the most brutally honest introduction in scientific literature. Studying entropy has never felt so... entropic for your mental state. The perfect gas might be ideal, but clearly the psychological state of those who master it isn't.

Engineers and tech enthusiasts everywhere are nodding in agreement! The top panel shows disgust at battery capacity measured in milliampere-hours (mAh) - which is like judging a car by how big its gas tank is. 🙄 Meanwhile, the bottom panel shows pure joy at seeing watt-hours (Wh) - the actual energy content that matters! It's like finally meeting someone who understands that what counts isn't how much coffee your mug holds, but how much caffeine is actually in it. Next time someone brags about their phone's 5000mAh battery, just ask them about the voltage and watch them malfunction. Power move.

Nothing triggers a physicist's internal rage meter quite like hearing "God Particle" instead of Higgs boson. The media coined this ridiculous nickname in the 90s because "goddamn particle" was too hard to find, and publishers wouldn't print the original expletive. Meanwhile, Peter Higgs and François Englert spent their careers mathematically predicting this mass-giving field only for pop science to turn it into clickbait. That subtle look of contempt? That's 50 years of quantum field theory reduced to a theological soundbite. Next time you want to see a physicist's soul leave their body, just casually drop "God Particle" at a conference and watch the internal screaming commence.
