The ultimate scientific family drama! J.J. Thomson won the Nobel Prize for proving electrons are particles, then his son George won it for proving they're waves. Talk about contradicting your dad's life work! Quantum mechanics eventually revealed they're both right—electrons exhibit wave-particle duality depending on how you observe them. The "OK boomer" comeback is especially brilliant since George's discovery literally boomed past his father's classical physics. Thanksgiving dinner conversations must have been absolutely electric in that household.
