Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Biology is just applied chemistry. Chemistry is just applied physics. Physics is just applied maths. Everything is maths.

Math is just simplified physics. Physics is just simplified chemistry. Chemistry is just simplified biology.

Chemistry is just simplified biology.

Eh, for organic, maybe. For inorganic not really. And all the crystal stuff is just physics we appropriated. And the rest of materials science is rightfully ours as well and one day we shall take it back from the engineers.

Math is just simplified physics

I don't know if I agree with that. Math is the language used to express Physics concepts. Physics is a conceptualization of the fundamental laws of the universe

Trust a physicist to get butthurt that other fields are harder than theirs.
