Keurig Metric
Added 2019-02-05 03:17:17 +0000 UTCI'm simultaneously so proud of and so angry at this comic

I just love Emily.

2019-02-17 08:09:44 +0000 UTCI 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.)

2019-02-07 07:10:21 +0000 UTCLorentz had a beard and didn’t speak English

2019-02-06 20:40:33 +0000 UTCI thought I empathize the most with May, but today Emily took the crown.
2019-02-06 11:20:04 +0000 UTCAnd now we know why the blackboard didn’t have anything written on it.

2019-02-05 13:01:37 +0000 UTCTotally agree! Of course Sheldon can be nice. You are just not worthy of his best effort 😉
Samuel Krahl
2019-02-05 10:50:24 +0000 UTCHeh... 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
2019-02-05 10:45:30 +0000 UTCWouldn't he have said, "Dank je!" then, and had a beard?
William Burns
2019-02-05 09:28:17 +0000 UTCMore likely he drew it once and just used the free transform tool in Photoshop and just copy-pasted it
Grace Kieser
2019-02-05 09:05:25 +0000 UTCEmily seems a bit extra hyper today. Did she drink espresso again?

2019-02-05 08:52:20 +0000 UTC$4.50 is a good price for a Lorentz factor. I hope Dora isn't losing money on the deal.
Dean Reilly
2019-02-05 08:44:04 +0000 UTCIt 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
2019-02-05 08:20:25 +0000 UTCI LOVE Dora's expressions. Especially when she eyes the 'medium Lorenz factor'
Bagge
2019-02-05 06:33:57 +0000 UTC... or maybe Emily brought him back from the past.
2019-02-05 05:54:14 +0000 UTCI think everybody on the thread so far has missed the joke. The old-timey European guy *IS* Lorenz. He travelled in time.
2019-02-05 05:53:38 +0000 UTCWith 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.

2019-02-05 04:58:34 +0000 UTCIt was a good joke and as usual the nerds missed it.
SpookyPenguin
2019-02-05 04:57:26 +0000 UTCScroll down to my reply to Jonathan Pesek's query. Also scroll up to Andrew Kunz's "fun fact".

2019-02-05 04:55:22 +0000 UTCEmily 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
2019-02-05 04:53:59 +0000 UTCEasy 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.
2019-02-05 04:45:32 +0000 UTCcan we just appreciate the amount of time to write those equations four times
2019-02-05 04:26:52 +0000 UTC...could someone please explain the joke? Maybe I'm just overanalyzing it...
Jonathan Pesek
2019-02-05 04:24:54 +0000 UTCIt's a secret?
Celine Chamberlin
2019-02-05 04:02:30 +0000 UTCJeph just needs to send his former self a message to.... Damn it!
Chris Gallaty
2019-02-05 04:02:21 +0000 UTCThat’s been my theory for ages. It would explain why she’s in the area.
Brian
2019-02-05 03:54:27 +0000 UTCUmmm... No. You'd need the path-integral form for that.
BobC
2019-02-05 03:51:21 +0000 UTC...Did Emily make Spookybot?
Dylan T
2019-02-05 03:47:05 +0000 UTC:( I don't get it
Saketh Kasibatla
2019-02-05 03:44:02 +0000 UTCTime for Spookybot to cough politely and say “Marten will come by in 2 minutes and 43 seconds and order a mocha.”
Matt Grayson
2019-02-05 03:40:03 +0000 UTCJeph are you secretly a genius or something?
Brian
2019-02-05 03:38:45 +0000 UTCWhich side?

2019-02-05 03:38:02 +0000 UTCFun 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.

2019-02-05 03:28:33 +0000 UTCgoddamn i appreciate you and your humor, good sir.

2019-02-05 03:24:47 +0000 UTCA lorentz factor, obviously.
Mitchell Sealy
2019-02-05 03:24:12 +0000 UTCI wonder what she actually served him
Lalo Martins
2019-02-05 03:22:25 +0000 UTCOh god, I just realized how tedious it must have been filling out that chalkboard over and over...
Mordaeus
2019-02-05 03:22:09 +0000 UTCI love that these are actually legit equations for propagation of fermions across closed timelike curves.
Yonatan Zunger
2019-02-05 03:21:31 +0000 UTCI'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
2019-02-05 03:21:16 +0000 UTCNow I wanna try Lorentz factors...
Mordaeus
2019-02-05 03:20:35 +0000 UTCI love the cat face in the upper-right of the equation.
