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.

Do neutrinos not have mass? I think you mean electric charge.

“Almost massless”. Neutrino masses are so small that they haven’t been measured (yet).

Science must make some scientists go insane when they can see something, know some of its properties and such, but you can't empirically measure it or really prove it exists.

"The neutrinos are just in your head, Wolfgang."

I feel like this trope should be applied to jobs outside of science. Like retail. Retail workers are just as prone to insanity and it's up to us to make that romantic and cool in similar ways. Also science outside of physics, like geology.
