When physics nerds visit London and see Tower Bridge, they can't help but have a moment of pure joy! The meme perfectly captures that "wait a minute..." realization that London is literally named after the physics concept of torque (τ = r × F). For the uninitiated, torque is the rotational force that occurs when force is applied at a distance from an axis—just like that bridge's lifting mechanism! The face palm emoji is every physics student who suddenly connects the dots and wonders how they missed this obvious "pun" their entire life. Spoiler alert: London wasn't actually named after torque (it predates Newton by centuries), but don't let historical accuracy ruin a perfectly good physics joke!
