35 Physics Memes And Posts That “Have Potential” To Make You Laugh, As Shared By This Online Group
This is probably one of the best pieces of edutainment you'll find online. Just think about it: it's physics—yeah, yeah, physics is hard, it's more or less mathematics on hardcore steroids—but it's wrapped into a meme format.
So, even if you do end up googling half the jokes and references, you'll be learning something along the way, so you win in any case! You cannot lose!
Anywho, there's a dedicated online community that operates under the subreddit r/PhysicsMemes and celebrates physics—the easiest and most common way to ruin your GPA the science that deals in nature, matter, and energy—by memeing the heck out of it.
Bored Panda went through r/PhysicsMemes to find the best of the best memes that not only have the potential to make you laugh, but to also educate you a tidbit. Scroll down, upvote, comment, share, all that jazz, you know the drill, and most importantly, enjoy!

Schrodinger never had a cat. That's why he had no idea if the cat was alive if he didn't look in the box. At 30 seconds past mealtime, you will know if the cat is dead or alive.
I absolutely hate it when someone says "oh, that can't exist because yada yada." And I say "fergawdsake it's FICTION.' However, many, many future scientists and other of that ilk watched the original Star Trek and are now creating and have created the tech that they used. You cannot create something until someone thinks of it.
My dad who’s an engineer with a physics degree always says “explained” instead “invented” or “discovered”. It’s always been there just needs to be explained 🤷🏼♀️
The peace du resistance. (Read with cheesy Monty-Python French accent.)

is it important in daily life? maybe. is it important to study? YESYESYESYES xD
Accelerator go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
For those who don't get it, this is the 2 slit experiment, a quantum mechanics experiment where you send a bunch of photons through 2 slits. The black dots on the back board represent where the photons hit, if you observe the photons before they go through the slits they land where you expect, in 2 lines as shown on the bottom, if you don't observe them then they land in the stripes above, since their probabilities weren't collapsed so they can end up in seemingly impossible patterns. This about the limit of my knowledge on it though, and I may've gotten some stuff wrong so don't quote me Edit: Correction from JMil, it's if you try and detect the photon going through one of the slits, not if you observe them before the experiment. Also, the pattern is caused by the photon seeming to interfere with itself as if it had gone through both slits. Read their reply below for more info from someone who knows more than me
Many great scientists have been honored with many useful measurement units. Some of them, with not-so-useful units. The SAGAN, named after astronomer Carl Sagan, is the unit for "a generic large quantity of stuff, usually more than four billions of it". Scientist Paul Dirac, who was well known for his silent disposition, gave origin to the Dirac, a measurement that equals to 1 word/hour. Richard Greenblatt, the notorious american hacker and MIT scientist, upheld the myth of the... lack of hygiene in the IT community and went on to be honored with the "milliBlatt", a measurement of strong body odor.
is that the phone number of an Islandington flat where Arthur Dent attended a dinner party?
kaguya-samas love is war (i know better now thanks for the help on that other meme!)
90% of these went over my he--, who am I kidding 99% of these went over my head.
Good thing you were ducking, you wouldn't want these to hit you in head!

This post really feels like a random collection of memes and pictures. I got most of the puns and jokes, but for people who never studied physics (or forgot what they were told in the high school years ago), it will be difficult to follow without having any context. I am sure that more BP readers would appreciate how good some of these memes are if the author of this article tried to do some more research.
the only physics class i took was in junior year of high school, & i failed it. i was still able to understand a lot of these memes & find them funny. & if you don't get them... that's fine too. they're just memes, it's alright to not understand every single meme you see :)
