Physicist spends a year observing moon to estimate it’s mass, only to rule out the theory that moon is made of Swiss cheese

“this amount of bridge material should collapse under its own weight, but we made it into arches/triangles and now it doesn’t 👍”

I feel like physics is to the universe, as the lore of a Dark Souls game is to the gameplay. The universe is already built, and physicists just come up with the lore to explain the mechanics after the fact.

But why, we put up a statue in Russia to acknowledge their sacrifice

Yeah, but it’s in Akademgorodok when it should be in Mousecow.

Akademgorodok

Bless you
