If there's one axiom about the internet, it's that if a thing exists, you'd better believe there's a subreddit that has at least a few dozen funny memes about it.
Even if you're interested in subjects that pop culture often overlooks, like physics or chemistry, you are bound to find them.
Just look at 'Science Memes.' While this online community with 207,000 members isn't the biggest on the platform, it provides a much-needed supply of jokes for the geeks inside of us.
From the rivalry between Tesla and Edison to poking fun at movie tropes, these folks have it all. Continue scrolling to check out their funniest stuff, and fire up Bored Panda's older article on the subreddit if you want more science memes.

It was actually Queen guitarist Bryan May who wrote "Fat Bottomed Girls", thus creating the theory that earth's rotation is caused by large behind females. As Bryan May actually holds a degree in astrophysics (with a PhD thesis about interplanetary radial velocity, no less) and as this theorem has never been challenged by other scientists, It can be seen by now as a generally accepted scientific fact...

The push for STEM initiatives — coding workshops for elementary school children, or extended-day science experiments for middle school students — reigns at the forefront of the education conversation we're having today. But one might question why bother with such difficult subjects in the first place.
As STEM enthusiasm percolates, the teaching of science — its importance, its challenges — isn't always part of the conversation. So let's take a look at the conversation Usable Knowledge had with two Harvard faculty members, one an experienced high school teacher and the other a philosopher of science, whose thoughts may help to reframe and revitalize the mission of science education.
(Spoiler alert, both of them argue that science should be much more than the rote memorization of theories, formulas, and vocabulary. It should be an education in problem-solving and collaboration.)

I do wish science reporters (or more likely their editors) would stop going for oversimplified and sensationalized headlines. It has really added to people's confusion and to the fatigue related to their perception that they're getting constantly changing and conflicting medical and scientific advice. It's not the scientists or the science, it's the translations of the scientists' work that's the problem, and of course headlines that offer simple solutions or dangers get more clicks. Often it's only the headline that's the problem, and the science is better explained in the body of the article, if people get that far, but the damage is already done.

He says classes can vary hugely in terms of students' prior knowledge, experiences, and interest in the subject. By the time they reach high school, many students are already wary of science, thinking the material is boring and useless, or that they themselves are too dumb to learn it. And building an understanding of science depends on acquiring a new and complicated vocabulary, which can be odious to teach and to learn.

Yes, perhaps approaching the subject cautiously is for the best . . .
Tackling these obstacles, educators should help their students approach science as more than an academic subject. "The nature of science itself is: make observations of the natural world, try and identify patterns, ask questions, find answers, ask more questions," Pereira says. "It's solving. It's a way of thinking." He argues that educators should portray science as acquiring skills, rather than memorizing facts. If the classroom focuses on the scientific process of discovery, more students will be engaged in the subject matter.

It shouldn't be satire. You're absolutely correct. If we did not have vaccines, there would not be as many human beings on the planet. Humans are the only animal that destroys entire ecosystems and causes mass extinction. Also important, indigenous peoples knew how to keep clean. When Europeans came to North America, they never washed their hands or took care of their teeth. Tribes from all over spoke to each other and explained how the pale people stunk to high heavens. Some tribes attempted to teach Europeans how to wash properly, even before eating - however, history shows us they ignored it and wiped out millions of my ancestors. ENOUGH ABOUT THAT... I'm just saying, even though you were sarcastic, there's a lot of truth there, too. I'm still happy there's vaccines, even though humanity doesn't know how to treat our earth.

Everyone isn't loosing their mind because of a vaccine, they're loosing their mind because government has a worse track record then a abusive boyfriend who keeps beating his girlfriend.

Perhaps if this wasn't the same government to test syphilis on unknowing populations for fun or to plan out a mass shooting to use to get us into war with Cuba among many many many other things, people would be more trusting of the government when they say "here take this". Onto the drug companies themselves that made these vaccines. These are the same people who caused the opioid epidemic by flat out lying to doctors about the risk of addiction to their opiod pain killers as well as for dosing recommendations so that they could make more profit. So why would you be surprised when someone doesn't believe those exact same people when they say their latest rushed invention is perfectly safe?

HGSE Professor Catherine Elgin, who has devoted her career to the philosophy of science, has theorized that learning science includes the pursuit of another attribute: morality.
Scientific inquiry, according to Elgin, requires collaboration. Any project, in fields ranging from astrophysics to microbiology, requires a team of scientists working together to garner results. This collaboration requires trust. In order to be confident in their findings, scientists need to be able to trust both their teams and the researchers whose work they have studied.

Scientists have to be trustworthy if they want to uncover new knowledge and advance their fields. They do, after all, want their findings to contribute to the discovery of truth — an underlying goal of any scientific inquiry. Furthermore, scientists know that the public depends on them to publish accurate research that will lead to necessary advances in health and technology. To meet these expectations, findings must be honestly and meticulously recorded. Because this trustworthiness is a moral attribute, Elgin highlights, scientific inquiry is a moral activity.
But how does this connect to science education?

Elgin says that the process of learning science reinforces these attributes. Chemistry majors cannot become chemists — and high schoolers cannot pass their chemistry labs — if, as students, they do not work together, double–check their assignments, and remain honest in their reports.
"Science does not happen on an island or in isolation," Pereira adds. It's actually the science teacher's responsibility to make sure that students understand the importance of collaborating, along with staying organized and paying attention to detail.

Since *our galaxy alone* has 100 000 000 000 planets roughly, and since english has only about 300 000 words, we'll run out of planet names before we run out of planets. And that's just in our galaxy. We estimate that there are 100 000 000 galaxies as well, meaning the universe contains about 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 planets in the universe. It makes sense to just name them by coordinates.
These interrelated characteristics of science education — the process of discovery and the collaboration on trustworthy results — are not mutually exclusive. Pereira thinks that science teachers should encourage their students to look at scientific advancements through an ethical lens, looking for patterns and asking questions about scientific developments. Science teachers should help students think critically about current technologies made possible by science, and reflect on whether future technologies will be morally acceptable.

Sci-fi writers use two plot devices to get around the widely understood physics concept that nothing can travel faster than light: The Wormhole, and The Faster-Than-Light (Warp) Drive. Both operate on the same principle, that space itself can be distorted to bring two points closer together, thereby allowing the protagonists to travel at speeds permitted by the laws of relativity, but still traverse tremendous distances in a short amount of time. Generally speaking, wormholes are presented as natural phenomenon while an FTL drive is a constructed mechanism.

Heisenberg came up with the uncertainy principle, which basically says the electrons aren't little balls and they can just be anywhere. Or everywhere. At least this is my rudimentary understanding. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

*After quick random scan of the atmosphere* "yeah guys it is safe to remove your helmets, we can breathe the air!"

Always loved the scene in Galaxy Quest when Tony Shalhoub takes off his helmet, they yell at him about toxic air, he takes a few quick breaths, shrugs, then proclaims "seems fine to me. :/ "

Mood mate. Here’s all you need to know: differential calculus is a lot of formulas and memorization to achieve one particular thing. However, as soon as you get good at differential calc, you learn about integral calc, which is where you re-learn to do differential calculus… but backwards. So the second picture is a negative image of the first one, because integral calc is basically the opposite of differential calc.
