To Support Your Wave Function

Physics: "I have to memorize F=ma, E=mc², and a bunch of other elegant formulas." Chemistry: "Hold my beaker while I explain why this element follows none of the rules we just learned because... reasons." The eternal struggle between physics with its tidy mathematical universe and chemistry's "here's 57 exceptions to what I just taught you." Physicists think they have it rough until they meet an organic chemist trying to explain why this particular carbon atom decided to rebel against everything in the textbook.

Newton sitting at 1459 Elo while Einstein's stuck at 1171? Talk about the original force to be reckoned with! Seems like gravity isn't the only thing Newton dominated. The man invented calculus while in quarantine and still had time to discover the spectrum of light. Meanwhile, Einstein's revolutionary spacetime theories get second place? Relativity indeed—everything's relative when you're not Newton. The chess-style rating system for physicists is the nerdiest tournament bracket we never knew we needed. Just waiting for the day Feynman challenges Maxwell to a physics slam with Hawking as referee.

Every physics student's existential crisis in one image! The perfect spherical cow has been the butt of theoretical physics jokes for decades. Physicists love to simplify problems with "assume a spherical cow in vacuum" to make the math work out. This cow, staring at its potential geometric destiny, is having a real moment of self-discovery. Next up in the textbook: frictionless surfaces and massless ropes that no engineer has ever actually seen in the wild.

When your circuit refuses to work and suddenly you're contemplating the universe's greatest mystery: why you chose physics instead of literally anything else! Those differential equations on the board aren't calculating your happiness levels, that's for sure. The existential crisis hits hardest when you're surrounded by wires that make more connections than your social life. Somewhere between Ohm's Law and the third hour of troubleshooting, you realize that resistance isn't just a physical property—it's your soul fighting against another lab report!

The table claims studying Classical Electrodynamics costs just $0.12/hour because the textbook lasts 1,000 hours. That's like saying banging your head against Maxwell's equations is "entertainment." Sure, and lab explosions are "planned demonstrations." The real cost should include therapy sessions and the coffee required to comprehend why a moving charge creates a magnetic field at 3 AM. Whoever made this clearly never had to derive the wave equation in spherical coordinates while questioning their life choices.

The commenter just discovered the fascinating physics of light projection! When text on a transparent visor is read from the outside, it appears normal. But when that same text casts a shadow through the visor onto a surface (in this case, skin), it follows optical projection principles—creating a reversed, flipped image. It's like a mini camera obscura effect happening right on someone's chest. The person's scientific observation is spot-on—the projected "Espresso" shadow should indeed be upside down and backwards according to basic optics. Someone skipped their physics homework when designing this photoshoot!
