QUANTUM SNARK

Kinetic energy depends on an object's mass and velocity. Bigger and faster means more drama.

✓ TRUE FACT

(K = \tfrac12 mv^2), so doubling speed quadruples kinetic energy. That’s why high-speed crashes are disproportionately more severe.

Named after someone who really understood pushback.Nuclear reactions are tiny dramas with huge consequences.Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Light on extreme mode.Sound waves are pressure waves, which means music is basically air being dramatic.Terminal velocity is the speed where gravity stops winning harder.
