When Wikipedia Is Your Only Source

This meme brilliantly captures the tragic physics of romance! The top graph shows "My love for her" as undamped harmonic motion - consistent, perpetual oscillations that never fade. Meanwhile, "Her love for me" is represented by damped harmonic motion, where the amplitude gradually decreases over time according to that exponential decay function e^(-t/τ). Basically, his feelings keep bouncing back with the same intensity forever, while hers slowly die out due to... friction? Resistance? Commitment issues? Either way, physics has never so perfectly described the pain of unrequited love!

Content Massimo @ @Rainmaker1973 Follow Did you know? NASA only uses 15 digits of n for calculating interplanetary travel. At 40 digits, you could calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the visible universe with an accuracy that'd fall off by less than the diameter of a hydrogen atom. YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU ARE AN ENGINEER WHO ONLY USES 3 DIGITS OFPITO B ILD A SKYSCRAPER:

Remember when momentum was just a simple P = mv equation? Those were the days! Now it's evolved into this terrifying multi-dimensional nightmare with partial derivatives and generalized coordinates that would make Newton himself curl up in fetal position. What you're witnessing is the glow-up (or breakdown) from basic Newtonian mechanics to Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalism - where momentum gets a fancy makeover with canonical coordinates and enough summation notation to induce spontaneous eye twitching in physics undergrads. It's like momentum went from "I just started high school" to "I have three PhDs and crippling impostor syndrome" real quick. And yes, I definitely feel ancient now, thanks for asking!

That moment when you spot a Mir Publishers physics textbook and suddenly become Elrond from Lord of the Rings. These Soviet-era tomes weren't just books—they were sacred scrolls of knowledge containing derivations so elegant they'd make Einstein weep. The binding might be falling apart, but those problems at the end of each chapter? Still giving nightmares to physics PhDs. Finding one of these purple beauties in your university library is like discovering the academic equivalent of buried treasure... except instead of gold, you get six pages explaining why the spherical cow approximation is valid.

Nuclear meltdowns as a personality test! The meme shows corium (that molten radioactive nightmare fuel that forms during nuclear reactor meltdowns) personified as three-headed dragon. Chernobyl and Fukushima are portrayed as terrifying beasts, while Three-Mile Island is the derpy cousin who didn't quite commit to the whole "catastrophic disaster" thing. For the nuclear nerds: corium is what happens when reactor fuel, control rods, and structural materials melt together into a lava-like mass that can burn through concrete and steel. Chernobyl's version (nicknamed "Elephant's Foot") could kill you in minutes just by standing near it. Fukushima created its own hellish blend. Meanwhile, Three-Mile Island had a partial meltdown but contained most of its radioactive material—hence the goofy, relatively harmless face. Nothing says "we've mastered atomic energy" quite like creating substances that can melt through the Earth while giving you radiation poisoning through a concrete wall. Progress!

The fundamental purpose of refrigerators is to create an environment colder than the surrounding air. In Antarctica, where ambient temperatures routinely plummet below -40°C, a standard refrigerator (typically maintaining 4°C) would actually be heating your food. Just picture bringing your frozen dinner to Antarctica only to discover your refrigerator is essentially a microwave. That's not in the instruction manual.
