More help is needed here, Aaron F – perhaps we are divided by a common language. Planck’s law is as true as things get in physics; a fine and venerable example of science working, in fact. That of itself, though, hardly raises a titter. So who are these (doubting) bitches? Or is it something else, altogether? Is the temperature/frequency distribution shown particularly germane to why we are here / intelligent design arguments, whose proponents might merit a canine sobriquet?
I have to admit to ‘getting’ all the other cartoons; this one just passes me by.
Nearing the end of a Saturday morning hike. Was time to introduce the young fellow to some of the higher ground in Santa Barbara. It was a hit! #hikingsantabarbara
Early morning baking on Monday. A staff member had a morning birthday breakfast and it was a delight to being something along! Can’t go wrong with orange-cranberry scones (gluten-free). #foodanddrink #ucsbphysics
Last night saw one of the more spectacular of the spaceX launches viewable from our front yard nearly every week these days. Just after sunset gives nice backlighting. You can *actually see* the satellites being launched at the end. Bonkers to see this so routinely. #space

Yours in expectation of enlightenment.
Why is this funny?
Because it’s TRUE! 😉

Ha Ha! Aaron F.:- That’s brilliant! Thanks!

Hehehe… XKCD seems to be a favorite of physicists. At my school, this one is posted on the SPS office door. 🙂
