Line 12:
Contrast [[Admiring the Abomination]], when the Professor is pleased rather than alarmed at a sudden scary turn of events because it's proved him ''right''.

▲* Reed Richards in ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' does this all of the time.
** Which is itself an incredible source of [[Fridge Logic]], given he can stretch and bend like he's made out of goddamn [[Buffy-Speak|stretchy-goo]].
*** He can deal with comicbook superscience -- ''[[Does Not Like Magic|magic]]'' continues to confound him.

▲* Ritsuko in ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' suffers a serious blow to her sanity after repeatedly witnessing Shinji playing [[Reality Warper]] with his AT-field wizardry and psyker abilities without finding ANY scientific explanation for it.

▲** In the [[Anime Addventure]] thread "Switching Places/Eva'', she has a similar reaction to Ranma. And to his habit (which most of the rest of the cast has picked up) of calling the Angels "kaiju."
▲* Harry goes through this a couple times in [[Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality]], but mostly when [[It Makes Sense in Context|Professor McGonagall turns into a cat.]]
== Literature ==
* In ''[[The Last Continent]]'', Ponder Stibbons has some difficulty adjusting to the idea that the deserted island he and the rest of Unseen University's senior faculty are trapped on is actively supplying them with the means to live.▼

▲== Live Action TV ==
* Physics grad student Chris Parsons in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial "Shada" does a lot of this.
* This is actually a plot point quite often on ''[[Fringe]]''. In a season 3 episode, Walter was confused and upset when the heaviest element was used by another scientist (who stumbled upon it and has no idea why it's doing this either) to make people float in the sky. Yes, it makes no sense. As it turns out, this lapse in the laws of physics is a sign that our universe is about to collide with another one and destroy them both.

** There's also a high school physics teacher [[Shout-Out|named]] "[[Nukees|Mr. Bleuel]]" who gets rather peeved when he spots one of his students floating down the hallway out of habit.

* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20130318175554/http://www.somethingofthatilk.com/index.php?id=21#comic this] ''"Something of that Ilk"'' comic, one man's refusal to believe in physics, and subsequent flying off, leaves the physics professor utterly speechless.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120626122611/http://skin-horse.com/comics/11052011/ Luckily for Dr. Lee in] [[Skin Horse]], the ancient, mystic order of notaries has a special couch just for scientists.
== Western Animation ==
* An old [[Looney Tunes]] cartoon had a professor giving a lecture where he refuted the existence of UFO's and "Little green men". Just as he's laughing at the very idea, a flying saucer with a baby green Martian flies in and hovers before his face for a few moments, causing the laughter to turn into tears.
▲== Video Games ==
▲* One of the planet travel guides in ''[[Tyrian (Video Game)|Tyrian]]'' reads "Many a scientist comes here after retirement to watch all their fundamental mathematical theorems fall apart as they watch the landmasses floating in apparent defiance to their life's work."
