The Six Stages Of Physics Grief

physics-memes, newton-memes, equations-memes, academic-suffering-memes, math-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The beautiful journey of solving a physics problem, illustrated in six easy steps: Start with optimism and basic tools, write down Newton's Second Law (∑F=ma), then watch your life spiral into mathematical chaos. The middle panels capture that moment when you realize the elegant equation has morphed into algebraic nightmare fuel. By the final panel, you're literally under the table in the fetal position, questioning your life choices. This isn't just solving a problem—it's the entire physics experience condensed into one emotional rollercoaster. The best part? This is exactly what professors don't warn you about in Physics 101. They just smile knowingly while handing out the syllabus.

Stay With Me Now

Starting with the Pythagorean theorem and somehow deriving relativistic mass equations is the physics equivalent of saying "trust me, I know a shortcut" before leading someone through a dark alley and three different dimensions. That blue character's expression perfectly captures the moment when your professor skips seventeen steps and says "obviously, it follows that..." No brain required—just the audacity to connect completely unrelated equations and slap a QED on it.

The Oracle Meets Quantum Mechanics

Even mystical oracles have their limits when faced with quantum mechanics! The question "What exactly is spin?" has physicists sweating bullets since the 1920s. Spin is that weird quantum property of elementary particles that's kind of like rotation but actually isn't rotation at all. It's more like... well... nobody really knows what it's like! It's just math that works! Physicists just nod knowingly while secretly thinking "please don't ask me to explain it without equations." The oracle choosing to dodge this question is the most scientifically accurate thing Disney ever produced.

We Are Lucky Lobsters Live In Water

Imagine if lobsters could fly! That buffed Doge on the left represents how evolutionarily JACKED these crustaceans would be if they had to deal with air resistance instead of water! Meanwhile, poor cow-doge is crying because bovine aerodynamics are apparently a complete disaster. The density of air vs water makes ALL the difference—in water, lobsters are just regular pinchy bois, but in air? They'd be the bodybuilders of the sky! Nature really dodged a bullet keeping those exoskeletons underwater where they belong. Flying lobster apocalypse averted!

Everything It's Just Waves Anyways

Physicists showing off their fancy equations for quasiparticles and "fundamental" particles, only to reveal the dirty little secret of quantum physics—they're mathematically identical! The wave functions, commutation relations, all that jazz... it's the same picture. This is basically physics' version of rebranding vanilla ice cream as "artisanal frozen dairy experience" and charging double. Whether you're dealing with electrons or phonons, the universe just said "ctrl+c, ctrl+v" on the math and hoped we wouldn't notice.

When Physicists Try To Date

Classic case of two people thinking they're talking about the same thing. He's excited about electromagnetic fields and quantum field theory, while she's probably thinking of grassy meadows. This is basically every physicist's dating experience in one image. The bottom part shows electromagnetic field diagrams and quantum field theory notation, which is what physicists actually mean when they say "fields." Dating tip: specify which fields you're referring to before getting too excited about shared interests. Saves approximately 3.7 awkward conversations per date.

Einstein Is Rolling In His Grave

Someone just committed the mathematical equivalent of a war crime here! They've somehow "proven" that the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²) equals Einstein's mass-energy equivalence (E = mc²). The "proof" involves some truly spectacular mathematical gymnastics - substituting c² with E/m and then rearranging to get a² + b² = E/m. This is like claiming apples equal oranges because you can draw both as circles. Physics departments worldwide just felt a disturbance in the force. Einstein isn't just rolling in his grave - he's probably achieving relativistic speeds.
