The eternal struggle of physics education captured in two frames! Top panel: confused student declaring "That makes no sense" - the universal anthem of every physics lecture ever. Bottom panel: professor with that smug "Well, it would if you were smarter" response.

This perfectly encapsulates the cognitive dissonance between professors who've internalized quantum mechanics and thermodynamics as "obvious" and students still trying to figure out why F=ma suddenly needs seventeen Greek symbols and a partial differential equation. The gap between "I've understood this for 20 years" and "I learned what a vector was last Tuesday" is the true universal constant!
