When The New Undergrad Walks Into The Lab For The First Time

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.

The perfect intersection of fluid dynamics and weeb culture doesn't exi— Notice how the wood grain spirals? That's basically what the Coriolis effect does to our atmosphere and oceans due to Earth's rotation. Meteorologists and oceanographers get all hot and bothered about these swirls, while manga artists just call it "good character development." Next time someone asks why hurricanes spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, just tell them it's the planet's way of drawing its own anime.

Ever notice how we all just accept things falling down? Newton was that one kid in class who raised his hand and said "But WHY though?" while everyone else just shrugged! His curiosity about a simple falling apple led to discovering universal gravitation - basically explaining why everything in the universe pulls on everything else. Next time something obvious happens, channel your inner Newton and question it! You never know, your "duh" moment might just revolutionize science. The real galaxy brain move isn't accepting what you see - it's asking the questions nobody else bothers to ask!

This textbook is basically saying "when your number is so massive it's stopped caring about small-time additions." Avogadro's number (10 23 ) is so ridiculously huge that adding 23 to it is like throwing a grain of sand into the Grand Canyon and expecting the tour guide to update the brochure. And then there's the "very large numbers" that are so astronomically gigantic they don't even notice when you multiply them by mere billions upon billions. It's the numerical equivalent of a celebrity too famous to acknowledge your existence. These numbers have transcended mathematical anxiety - they're just out there living their best life, completely unbothered by our operations. The footnote about "keeping track of leftover factors" is the textbook equivalent of a nervous laugh after making a dad joke at a faculty meeting.

The eternal alliance of math and physics students united by their mutual disdain for memorizing endless organic compounds and biological taxonomies! Nothing brings rivals together faster than a common enemy. While these equation-lovers might argue over whether pure math or applied physics is superior, they'll instantly bond over their shared trauma of balancing chemical equations and drawing cellular structures. It's like the scientific version of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" — except the enemy is just having to learn the Krebs cycle for the fifth time.

Physics students see the world through equations, but show them a bird and suddenly they're lost in a sea of... bird . This diagram perfectly captures the disciplinary divide where biologists meticulously label every feather, while physicists just see an aerodynamic projectile with mass m! The beautiful complexity of taxonomy reduced to "bird" labels everywhere is practically the scientific equivalent of pointing at food and saying "food." Next time your physicist friend tries to simplify quantum mechanics, hand them this bird diagram and watch their brain short-circuit!
