It’s a 25 year old joke. It was a simpler time.
But what's the joke though?
Same as “the narwhal bacons at midnight” or 67.

It’s called absurdity. It’s funny because it’s obviously not true, and also funny because of the undertones that it’s a clever way to get horny teenagers to study physics who really just want to see the photos.
It would be absurd if pop stars by defintion could not explain semiconductor physics. Like how a snake wearing boots is absurd.
Dr. Brian May comes to mind...

Maybe not so absurd.
Also, Todd Rundgren used to be a registered Apple developer. We'd see him moseying around the WWDC, every year.

At the time she was ground zero for all of pop culture and pretty much every single man’s crush. When that website came out it was funny because we were all looking at pictures of Britney anyway so may as well learn some physics at the same time.
Btw, she really went downhill once she fell out of popularity. I think she has a life put back together finally but she got a raw deal. I’m rooting for her.

#35Meanwhile Dolph Lundgren has an actual MA in Chemical Engineering. It's a pity we can't get him to do something like this in earnest to teach engineering concepts.
MA is master of art according to google. MSc seems right.

Brian May (Queen) has a PhD degree in astrophysics :)

Many (most, in the US; don't know about Sweden or Australia) institutions don't draw a distinction between the two and award MA regardless.

#38oh, good. no longer will i have to settle for learning Quantum Physics from Kim Kardashian [1] [1] https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/6a5mf7/whats_less_be...
There’s also Zara Dar and Chang Hsu’s PornHub/OnlyFans pages for maths and STEM subjects, if we’re going down this rabbit hole…

Everyone knows Alanis Morissette is a master electrician. That's why she has one hand in her pocket, while the other is probing a circuit. Anyway, it's kind of Ironic [1] that the dude from Queen is an astrophysicist, and Britney Spears is writing Semiconductor Physics tutorials. Something something music and math. [1] Sorry
> master electrician
It’s true, she’s high but she’s grounded (not sorry).

#40From the same era of the internet I recall a site called the "Large Hardon Collider" making fun of the very common subtle typo. IIRC it had a light blue background and crude (in more ways than one) pencil diagrams. I can't find it now and I wonder if anyone else remembers it?
