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.

The more you know the less you know

Congratulations, you’ve successfully explained quantum mechanics.

This isn't even a joke, it's literally true in quantum mechanics.

Thank you for explaining the joke, I now know less.

You know nothing, but you know precisely about what you know nothing.

Cue the PhD comic about depth of knowledge vs breadth of knowledge.

Sometimes I get the sense that I have a clear picture of quantum mechanics. But when I look closer, it gets all blurry.

The more you know of one thing the less you know of the other*
