The scientific method in a nutshell! This comic brilliantly captures how physicists design experiments that are fundamentally just sophisticated versions of animal traps. First panel: questioning why flies are attracted to plants (basic observation). Second panel: judging rats for falling for bait (controlled experiment). Third panel: being horrified by bear traps (complex experimental design). Final panel: happily walking into the Department of Physics (where we design the most elaborate traps of all - experimental setups to catch fundamental particles and confirm theories). The irony is delicious - scientists mock animals for falling into traps while dedicating careers to building increasingly complex versions of the same concept!
