I Take A Look At My Sphere And Realize It's Rolling

Newton's famous quote "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" gets a hilariously literal interpretation here. The comic explores all possible permutations of this metaphor - from a giant standing on Newton's shoulders (crushing him), to Newton giving a giant a shoulder to cry on (awkward), to Newton being a giant himself (nope), until finally landing on the correct interpretation: Newton intellectually standing on the achievements of his predecessors. Scientific progress in stick figure form - the peer review would be merciless.

The duality of humanity when faced with potential extinction! While normal folks panic about a "droplet-shaped object" hurtling toward Earth, physics enthusiasts are gleefully calculating orbital mechanics. The three-body problem is notoriously unsolvable in closed form—it's literally chaos theory in action! The title brilliantly references "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" where dolphins (the second most intelligent species on Earth) leave before our planet's destruction with that exact farewell. Calculating celestial trajectories vs. running for your life? The physics nerds choose math every time. They're not scared—they're intellectually stimulated .

Einstein discovering the speed of light is like finding out you're the hottest person at the physics conference. That smug confidence when you casually drop "E=mc²" at dinner parties and revolutionize physics forever. Meanwhile, Newton's sitting in the corner wondering why he wasted time getting hit by apples when he could've just stared at light beams. The ultimate scientific flex isn't discovering gravity—it's realizing nothing in the universe moves faster than your brilliant ideas.

Breaking news: Scientists shocked to discover that light-speed laser travels at... the speed of light! 🤯 Next up: Water confirmed wet and fire still hot. The headline about a "world-leading laser beam that travels at speed of light" is like bragging your calculator can do math. ALL lasers travel at light speed—it's literally in the name (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). That's like advertising a "revolutionary new car with wheels" or a "groundbreaking fish that can swim." Military tech is cool and all, but maybe save the breathless headlines for when the laser can break the laws of physics instead of just... following them perfectly.

Doubling Earth's gravity for a second would effectively turn every living organism into a pancake. The normal acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², so cranking it up to 120.37 m/s² would increase your effective weight by over 12 times. Your bones would shatter, buildings would collapse, and the atmosphere would compress dramatically. The genie's confusion is completely warranted—he's basically being asked to temporarily exterminate all complex life on Earth by someone who clearly failed high school physics but somehow memorized random numerical values. The second wish would probably be for a time machine to undo the first wish, but good luck articulating that when you're a puddle of organic matter.

Word processor suggesting "momentum" as a synonym for "velocity" while every physicist internally screams! That's like saying your weight is a synonym for your height. Sure, they're related (p = mv), but velocity is a vector with direction, while momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Try telling your physics professor they're synonyms and watch them have an existential crisis faster than a quantum particle's lifetime. Next up: suggesting "energy" as a synonym for "force" and watching the Newton fanboys riot.
