You Can Stop Searching Guys, I Know A Few SIMPs

The mushroom character tells an atom to "be more positive!" and the atom takes it literally. Next thing you know, nuclear explosion. This is why physicists don't do motivational speaking. The atom shed its electrons to become more positively charged, resulting in nuclear instability. Just another day in the lab where wordplay leads to radioactive decay.

Remember when basic algebra felt like stepping on a rake? Fast forward to engineering school, where you're parkour-ing through a mathematical obstacle course with differential equations tripping you on the stairs, Laplace transforms knocking you off ledges, and calculus waiting to clothesline you around every corner. Meanwhile, that same basic algebra is just chilling at the bottom like "remember when you thought I was hard?" Engineering students don't need a gym membership—dodging mathematical concepts while crying inside provides all the cardio they need.

Nothing says "future physicist" like a child playing with a DIY particle accelerator! That's not a toy yo-yo—it's clearly a miniature Large Hadron Collider for the budding CERN scientist. Parents everywhere wondering why their electricity bill suddenly includes "antimatter production surcharges." Next week: building a nuclear reactor with household items and a chemistry set!

The duality of the scientific mind on full display! Dismisses astrology as "made up nonsense" but immediately gets excited about the ideal gas law (PV = nRT). The title nods to Van der Waals, who actually improved this equation to account for real gases because—plot twist—the ideal gas law is also an idealized model that doesn't perfectly describe reality. Scientists: rejecting one set of approximations while worshipping another since 1873. The only difference? One has math.

Classical physics is the parent desperately trying to maintain order in the universe: "Why can't you just be normal and follow predictable laws?!" Meanwhile, quantum physics is the rebellious teenager screaming in the backseat because it exists in multiple states simultaneously, teleports through barriers, and gets entangled with particles across the universe. Absolutely refuses to tell you where it is AND how fast it's going at the same time. Such a troublemaker! 🤪

Max Planck's face says it all. First he introduces you to the fundamental limits of reality with his namesake units—essentially the universe's way of saying "you shall not pass." Then immediately tells you to forget it because he knows your brain just melted trying to comprehend numbers with that many zeros. Classic physicist move: explain something mind-bending then act like it's no big deal. The difference between Planck mass and electron mass is basically the difference between understanding quantum mechanics and pretending to understand quantum mechanics at parties.
