Keurig Metric

I'm simultaneously so proud of and so angry at this comic

Keurig Metric

Comments

I just love Emily.

Katherine Prewitt

I actually spent a while looking up space-time metrics, to see if there were any which would make a good pun with Keurig - sadly, it appears there are not. (Apparently that's just the kind of nerd I am.)

Clifton Royston

Lorentz had a beard and didn’t speak English

Brian

I thought I empathize the most with May, but today Emily took the crown.

And now we know why the blackboard didn’t have anything written on it.

Summer Sudbrink

Totally agree! Of course Sheldon can be nice. You are just not worthy of his best effort 😉

Samuel Krahl

Heh... The more I think about it, the more I believe that Emily is this universe's Sheldon Cooper. You know, if Sheldon was actually nice. :)

Joshua Brumley

Wouldn't he have said, "Dank je!" then, and had a beard?

William Burns

More likely he drew it once and just used the free transform tool in Photoshop and just copy-pasted it

Grace Kieser

Emily seems a bit extra hyper today. Did she drink espresso again?

Bagge

$4.50 is a good price for a Lorentz factor. I hope Dora isn't losing money on the deal.

Dean Reilly

It is good that it's Lorenz's birthday, and not, say, Husserl's. Otherwise they would be discussing phenomenological time and bearded German gentleman would ask for a Noemacchiato.

Evgeniy Semyonov

I LOVE Dora's expressions. Especially when she eyes the 'medium Lorenz factor'

Bagge

... or maybe Emily brought him back from the past.

I think everybody on the thread so far has missed the joke. The old-timey European guy *IS* Lorenz. He travelled in time.

With the right software, he'd only have to draw them once, and then just manipulate them for each different view, but that's still a lot of fiddly scribbling.

It was a good joke and as usual the nerds missed it.

SpookyPenguin

Scroll down to my reply to Jonathan Pesek's query. Also scroll up to Andrew Kunz's "fun fact".

Emily is demonstrating why Marigold's last comment from yesterday's comic wouldn't work. (had to share, 'cause it took me a moment to make the connection)

Simran Khalsa

Easy peasy. You see the mi in the denominator of the summation? mi is always zero, which means the term evaluates to an undefined value, meaning that information can go in _any direction_. In other words, the exact opposite of what Emily is claiming.

can we just appreciate the amount of time to write those equations four times

...could someone please explain the joke? Maybe I'm just overanalyzing it...

Jonathan Pesek

It's a secret?

Celine Chamberlin

Jeph just needs to send his former self a message to.... Damn it!

Chris Gallaty

That’s been my theory for ages. It would explain why she’s in the area.

Brian

Ummm... No. You'd need the path-integral form for that.

BobC

...Did Emily make Spookybot?

Dylan T

:( I don't get it

Saketh Kasibatla

Time for Spookybot to cough politely and say “Marten will come by in 2 minutes and 43 seconds and order a mocha.”

Matt Grayson

Jeph are you secretly a genius or something?

Brian

Which side?

ysth

Fun fact, today (4 February) is the date of the death of Hendrik Lorentz, the Danish Physicists who created the Lorentz Transformation Equations. At his funeral on 10 February 1928, telephone and telegraph services were halted for 3 minutes all over his native Holland. He has a crater on the moon named after him.

Miyaa

Emily is the best

Fart Captor

b a s k

Justin McCulloch

goddamn i appreciate you and your humor, good sir.

Jermops

A lorentz factor, obviously.

Mitchell Sealy

I wonder what she actually served him

Lalo Martins

Oh god, I just realized how tedious it must have been filling out that chalkboard over and over...

Mordaeus

I love that these are actually legit equations for propagation of fermions across closed timelike curves.

Yonatan Zunger

I'm currently reading through book 1 of the QC collection and I would like to request the return of Pintsize's laser. Also, today/tomorrow's comic is hilarious.

nowshowjj

Now I wanna try Lorentz factors...

Mordaeus

I love the cat face in the upper-right of the equation.

MiaKitty

why would you be angry this is amazing
