Who Would Win: Applied Science Vs. Pure Theory

That moment when you correctly explain gravity in a Reddit comment and suddenly you're floating above Newton and Galileo with cosmic wings. Sure, I read half a physics textbook once and watched a YouTube video about quantum mechanics. Basically the same as revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. The undergraduate physics major's final form isn't even their final form.

The meme brilliantly plays on the word "atom" by creating a visual pun: "Atom" → "look inside" → plum + pudding, which references the obsolete "plum pudding model" of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in 1904. In this early atomic model, electrons were thought to be embedded throughout a positively charged substance like plums in a pudding. The cat's wide-eyed reaction perfectly captures how modern physicists feel about this hilariously outdated model that was disproven by Rutherford's gold foil experiment. Scientists abandoned this model over a century ago, but it remains a charming relic of scientific history that makes physics nerds snicker uncontrollably.

Ever noticed how your brain completely abandons you the moment you fall for physics? One minute you're checking out those sexy differential equations, and the next thing you know, your intelligence has packed its bags and left town. The classic "distracted boyfriend" scenario, except your IQ is the one feeling betrayed. Nothing quite like the existential crisis of realizing you've committed to a relationship with quantum mechanics while your cognitive abilities are filing for divorce. Trust me, even Einstein probably had moments where he stared at his own equations thinking, "What fresh hell have I created?"

Poor Billy transformed from kinetic energy to potential energy and then... well... to thermal energy in the ground. The equation tells the whole tragic story - as he fell, his potential energy (mgh) converted to kinetic energy (½mv²), but unfortunately, the negative sign indicates he lost all that height... permanently. Physics doesn't care about your feelings, just your final velocity.

The ultimate act of scientific rebellion! Moving physics books to fiction is like telling gravity, "You're not the boss of me!" That's why our prankster is floating away—Newton's rolling in his grave while this maverick defies the laws of physics by... *checks notes*... literally defying the laws of physics! The library classification system wasn't ready for this level of chaos theory. Next week: putting astronomy books under "creative writing" and watching the stars rearrange themselves!

Medieval alchemists spent centuries trying to turn lead into gold, but CERN actually did it! Using particle accelerators, they smashed atoms so hard that lead briefly transformed into gold through nuclear transmutation. The catch? It lasted for just a split second and cost WAY more than the gold was worth. Talk about the world's most expensive alchemy experiment! 🔬✨ Fun fact: The transformation happens when lead atoms lose three protons through high-energy collisions. Scientists were like "We did it!" followed immediately by "Aaaand it's gone." The ultimate scientific tease!
