Troll Science / Troll Physics
About
Troll Science, also known as “Troll Physics”, is a drawing fad popularized on the /sci/ (science) board of 4chan in late September of 2010, but with origins in early September 2010 on Reddit, with the earliest found dedicated thread dating at September 29th, on the /b/ board. The premise behind it is to create pictures with such pseudo-science that one could endlessly troll their science teachers.
Origin
The earliest example of Troll Physics was found on Reddit, dating at September 13th, 2010.
The picture that originally sparked the interest on 4chan is allegedly that of a troll-car using two magnets to propel itself forward.
• Stated by Encyclopedia Dramatica [NSFW], although no proof has been shown to corroborate this statement.
