They Aren't Negligible

The evolution of engineering students is a brutal reality check! On the left, we have the overconfident high school graduate with muscles bigger than their understanding of Newton's laws, strutting into freshman year like "Physics is just F=ma, how hard could engineering be?" Fast forward to junior year, and they're desperately searching "how to solve coupled differential equations" at 2AM while watching Indian YouTube tutors explain thermodynamics better than their $50,000/year professors. Nothing humbles you faster than realizing your entire academic survival depends on a stranger across the globe who somehow explains control systems with a $2 microphone and MS Paint diagrams.

The ultimate physics throwdown! A bearded guy claims to be divine by presenting a rock that's somehow getting hotter without any heat source—a straight-up violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The skeptical crowd isn't buying the "sometimes rocks just get hot" explanation, pointing out that spontaneous energy creation would literally break the universe. The punchline? After all that thermodynamic debate, he just makes wine instead. Classic misdirection! The comic brilliantly pokes fun at how miracle claims often fall apart under scientific scrutiny... until they conveniently switch to something less testable. The thermodynamics here is actually solid—heat naturally flows from hot to cold objects, never the reverse, unless work is done on the system. So a rock spontaneously heating up? That's physics blasphemy!

This Venn diagram is the scientific equivalent of a diss track! It's poking fun at the friendly rivalry between different science fields. Chemists are called out for their theoretical work and carbon obsession, physicists and biologists get roasted for thinking chemists just mix stuff, and the center reveals what they all have in common—zero game in the dating department! 😂 It's that perfect mix of science humor and brutal honesty that makes lab coats everywhere simultaneously nod and cringe. The scientific method may be precise, but scientific burn methods are downright savage!

The spacetime diagram on the left isn't just some boring math homework—it's literally a time machine blueprint! That parallelogram represents a worldline loop in spacetime, where the vertical axis is space and horizontal is time. What Doc Brown never mentioned is that his DeLorean's flux capacitor was actually creating closed timelike curves, allowing Marty to violate causality while looking fashionably confused. Physics professors love this one because it combines the absurdity of pop culture time travel with actual relativistic concepts that Einstein would either love or have a complete breakdown over. Great Scott, indeed!

Someone's taken the Standard Model of particle physics and turned it into the most brilliant parody ever! Instead of quarks, we've got "Boomer," "Millennial," and "Gen Z" particles with prices that perfectly match their economic realities ($1B for Boomers vs $800M for Gen Z). The force carriers? Just straight-up labeled as "mental illnesses" including the "glueon" (glue), "Hugs" (with a heart emoji), and the newly added "love" particle with a suspiciously high price tag of $1.5M. The leptons section features "negatron" and "mewon" (complete with whiskey glasses), while bosons are now various types of "bozo." Physics has never been this financially accurate or emotionally resonant!

The existential crisis of a physicist during New Year's Eve is perfectly captured by Tom's unimpressed face. While everyone's celebrating Earth reaching some random point in its 940 million km elliptical journey around the sun, physicists are sitting there thinking, "You realize January 1st is completely arbitrary, right?" The Gregorian calendar could've started anywhere in our orbit, but here we are, setting off explosives because we completed another revolution around a G-type main-sequence star. It's like celebrating your car's odometer hitting 100,000 km while you're still driving on the highway.
