Physicist Explains Gravity

We don't know. Shut up. Yes my phd is real for fucks sake, and I'm telling you we don't know jack shit. Do you have any fucking clue how hard this line of work is? It's been over 70 years and there's been fuckall progress. Every day I wake up and make up lies and publish papers about quantum fruit loops or nth dimensional silly strings, wasting away in an underfunded lab and dealing with dumbass sacks of shit like you. I could've been something, I could have made my parents proud but of course I waste 11 years in school only to end up in the one unresolved corner of physics making 57k a year. 'What is gravity?' shut the fuck up. Gravity is the process that will turn my body limp when I decide to end it all. Wait don't leave yet lemme give a quick demonstration I don't know what gravity is Gravity is just the curvature of spacetime

A frustrated scientist rants that physicists do not truly know what gravity is, despite years of research, then demonstrates gravity with a warped spacetime grid. The joke contrasts an angry, self-deprecating academic meltdown with the standard simplified explanation from general relativity, making it useful as a reaction to confidently complicated or unknowable questions.
