2662: "Physics Safety Tip"

Title text: In general, avoid exposure to any temperatures, pressures, particle energies, or states of matter that physicists think are neat.

What's the opposite of physicists, then (i.e. if they're excited, stand near it)? Art lovers, perhaps?

I'm watching the first episode of all different cartoons!

I figured there are two fields of study which produce people who are the opposite of Physicists: Theologians and Psychologists. To be completely honest, I wouldn't stand next to anything that any of them were excited about.
But, another thing that is the opposite of a Physicist is a toddler, I would be happy to stand next to something a toddler is excited about.

I feel like that's a good way to get eaten by a dinosaur or lethally injured by earthmoving equipment...

I don't need any assistance from an excited toddler to get myself consumed by gigantic critters or mangled by massive equipment. But yeah, I didn't quite think that through.
