"Tested on mices" is the The biologist equivalent to the programmers "it works on my machine"

If humanity ever perishes and the next dominant species ends up being mice, the discovery and translation of our research will usher in a utopian world for them.

They'd resurrect humans just to brutally torture us in vengeance.

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.

There is a replica in mousecow, near the original master and margarita bar, or at least there was.

But only if they recreate laboratory conditions as well and then it wouldn't really be a utopia

Physics is mostly finding bugs in the existing physics model of the universe, then patching them

More like finding bugs and exploiting the hell out of them.

I thought that was engineering

"this amount of bridge material should collapse under its own weight, but we made it into arches/triangles and now it doesn't ๐Ÿ‘"

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

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.
