While I don't necessarily understand the finer points of the meme, I couldn't help but read the "Poynting vector" equation as "SEX B OVER MU" and I couldn't figure out why sex is happening over a cow...

I am a little stoned rn, so that may have something to do with that. Yes, I am aware it's pronounced "Mew"

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced mü, not mew

Which is pronounced...? English doesn't have that character. Our closest analogue would be "mew."

None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.

Waow, it's almost like you're taking a stoned comment written in 10 seconds way too seriously.
