The eternal skeleton vigil for physics' broken promises! Textbook physics problems exist in this magical realm where friction vanishes, strings have no mass, and air resistance is but a myth. Meanwhile, real-world physics students discover that calculating a simple pendulum motion requires accounting for 47 different variables, including whether Mercury is in retrograde. The gap between theoretical physics problems and reality is so vast you could fit the entire standard model in it—twice!
