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.

But, you know, he not only discovered that it doesn't move if you don't move it, but that even if you do try to move it, it will resist your attempt to do so (which really like broke my brain when I first learned it, and still kinda do even now).

Schools will happily drill the 3 newtonian laws of motion in one ear and out the other in literally every science class. But when it comes to actually teaching understanding, nothing but crickets.

There are three states of matter

THERE ARE THREE STATES OF MATTER

BTW there are 4 states of matter.

Actually there's like 20 states of matter.

Public science education strikes again.

Telling children there are 3 states of matter is much easier than telling them about Frank Hobarts 2-stage triple balance beam phase plasma and how it only exists when the sun and the moon align during an eclipse while you sing Ave Maria

Learning how to teach without overwhelming people is extremely important.
