This is no laughing matter. There used to be a Wikipedia category for scientists who committed suicide. (With a subcategory: Mathematicians who committed suicide.) Probably removed because it got overly broad or something.

Submitted it to Reddit's r/MorbidReality once, they just fucking removed it. Reddit mods are assholes.

I would wager that any fluid dynamics book is cursed and it is rather forbidden knowledge not meant for mortals.

"States of Matter" by David L. Goodstein

"The Ring" movie was based on this book, with Japan and Hollywood taking their usual liberties and slightly changing it.

Well, at least it isn't transfinite set theory. Or AI research.

I like how the bottom panel adds nothing and detracts from the humor.

what book is this?

I had a professor who called it "Sadistical Thermo-god-damn-its"

When i took it it wasn't that bad but maybe our professor went easy on us.

Perhaps?

Huh, I must've read that at some point previously, though I don't remember it.

Seems to me that the sentence you want to highlight is "Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously."
