That's gotta be the sharpest knife in existence having a diameter of half an atom...
Doesn't have to be sharp. It could be extremely fast.
And that's how we got bubbles in beer.
I'm glad someone else remembers that movie.
God, I saw it in the theater. That theater was almost completely empty.
*chop "damn." *chop "damn." *cho -BOOM
When I was a kid, I was legitimately afraid of this
We're gonna need a community for comedy homicide for this. That last panel ruins it.
Then he went on to make lemonade with strawberries and heavy water. Deuterium, you get me? Strawberry fusion lemonade.
No I don’t get it. But I would like to. Is this one of those scenarios where three physicists walk into a bar, each one tells a joke but none of it are funny so no one gets it?
The moment I wrote it, I was hearing it in the voice of Benny Safdie in his first scene as weirdo Edward Teller, in "Oppenheimer".
Didn’t watch the movie, probably why it went over my head. Sorry 🤷♂️
No Oppenheimer?!!
Your geek credentials are hereby revoked until further notice!
Or until you atone!
Oppenheimer is a mainstream movie though. It's not that geeky.
It's a movie about physics, with characters like Niels Bohr featured prominently, which just so happened to be made for general audiences and it was a hit, by a director whose other historical film was about Dunkirk.
Before these movies were made, the subjects were pretty much obscure to the mainstream. Films like these are regarded as risky for large studios, and it's widely acknowledged that Christopher Nolan is on the very short list of directors with the blessing to do absolutely whatever they want at large studio scale and budget and that is not part of a franchise. And by "very short list" I mean people like Stanley Kubrick.
The "mainstream" label on Oppenheimer is incidental, after the fact.
Is that what killed that girl at Panera a while back?
Knives are also made of atoms
Sure? How many? Because I have some atoms at home and need a new knife
At least 50
Boy, that's alot!
but an alot of atoms is just a regular old alot..!
Call that a knife?
Not this knife

One of these nerds is not like the others,
One of these geeks just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which nerd is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
I don't like Tyson because I feel he preaches an inaccurate version of the scientific philosophy. So many times I hear him saying things along the lines of absolute certainty, because it's SCIENCE.
Where, we of the true faith, preach: the evidence indicates that this is the most likely to be true, or at least, this model makes predictions about the world more reliably than any other we currently have.
Amen.
Tyson? Why not cause he's an asshole? Are you aware that both Einstein and Hawkings were also assholes?
While Einstein and Hawking (no s) were giants of their field, published papers that turned all other accepted science on its head, and have basic physical phenomenon of the Universe named after them, they were surprisingly limited in their knowledge of other fields. Whereas NdT will expound on absolutely any topic with the complete certainty that he is a fucking expert, even if he only just now inferred the existence of the thing from the question he is presently being asked. He is a Mycroftian megabrain of galactic proportions, a fact he appreciates better than anyone else.

Hawking, my guy, why have you forsaken us? 🥺 I believed in you
