The Whole Field Of Science Summarized

The planetary breakup that shook the solar system! In 2006, astronomers officially demoted Pluto from planet status to "dwarf planet" after discovering dozens of similar objects in the Kuiper Belt. The meme perfectly captures that one friend who refuses to accept scientific consensus with their emotional "Pluto is still a planet" stance, only to be confronted with the cold, hard astronomical reality: there are about 70 other Pluto-sized objects out there! Sorry, Pluto defenders - size matters in planetary classification, and your fave didn't make the cut. The International Astronomical Union had receipts!

The meme contrasts how non-astrophysicists and astrophysicists view dark matter. The crying guy represents the layperson dismissing dark matter as "made-up bullshit to fit the curves," while the stoic bearded Chad astrophysicist initially suggests learning about it. But the punchline reveals that even astrophysicists privately acknowledge it's essentially a mathematical placeholder. Dark matter is literally an invisible substance we've never directly detected but mathematically need to explain galaxy rotation curves. It's the scientific equivalent of saying "a wizard did it" but with equations. The beard apparently comes with the PhD.

The ultimate scientific truth bomb! 💣 The second law of thermodynamics basically says entropy (disorder) always increases over time in an isolated system. It's the universe's way of saying "your room will NEVER stay clean on its own." This law is so fundamental that it ranks up there with life's other unavoidable certainties - death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, things naturally move from order to chaos. Your coffee gets cold, your desk gets messy, and the universe slowly marches toward heat death. It's the scientific principle that explains why finding matching socks is practically impossible!

The eternal struggle of every astronomy enthusiast—getting distracted by cosmic eye candy! This guy just can't help turning his head for those stunning Hubble images of nebulae and star formations. The "Ir" in the title is actually a clever play on "iridium" (chemical symbol Ir) and the word "it"—combining chemistry with astronomy in one deliciously nerdy pun. Those nebula silhouettes aren't just pretty space clouds; they're literal stellar nurseries where new stars are born through gravitational collapse of gas and dust. Next time you're on a date with actual humans, try not to get caught staring at those hot, ionized gases instead!

Google search suggestions trying to convert a light year to "years," "earth years," and "seconds" is the astronomical equivalent of trying to convert meters to pounds. Einstein and Hawking are literally having to be restrained from launching into a physics rage. A light year is distance , people—specifically 9.46 trillion kilometers that light travels in a year. Next thing you know, someone will be asking how many calories are in a parsec.

Ever notice how time travel fantasies always involve family reunions or saving historical figures? Not for the true intellectuals! While normies waste time meeting their descendants (awkward), legends go straight for the good stuff—crashing Stephen Hawking's legendary time traveler party. For those who missed this brilliant bit of scientific trolling: Hawking actually threw a party for time travelers in 2009, but only announced it AFTER the party ended. If you showed up, you proved time travel works! Nobody came (allegedly), which Hawking cited as "experimental evidence" against time travel. The ultimate physicist party trick!
