Radio waves exert force on things. 188.114.111.224 22:34, 21 February 2015 (UTC), In the first panel, Cueball forgot to mention Einstein's field equations. Weak Horse, Strong Horse, Flavor Horse, Chromatic Horse... 199.27.128.194 01:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC), couldnt the title text joke just be joking about how the professor doesnt know anything? 173.245.56.209 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~), As a philosopher, my interpretation was not that Cueball "can't encapsulate" the ideas, but that no one really understands them, even specialists. It [mumble mumble] radioactive decay [mumble mumble] Renormalist (talk) 11:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC), Irony like this is not uncommon in physics. So, how much force can tug-of-war players exert? Presumably aiming for somethin like this Wikipedia overview: Fundamental interactions, … -CDJ, https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1489:_Fundamental_Forces&oldid=199156. The comic also outlines how progressively difficult it gets to describe the forces. Not a lot of force. ... force is so small is one of the reasons why the weak interaction force is so weak and the actual "force" part of the weak force is largely insignificant since it does not result in any bound states. Magnetism Weak force → Strong force The unification of electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force—known as the electroweak interaction—is the only currently-accepted unification of two fundamental forces. What was the first encounter with electric phenomena? This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License. Lord Vader has apparently force-choked himself to the point of unconsciousness (or possibly even death) and is being transported from his house on a stretcher by two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). 108.162.241.11 21:55, 20 February 2015 (UTC), Is it just possible that Randall posted this forum to see how we here actually try to explain strong and weak Forces? Figure: -And those are the four fundamental forces! Standard Model, Chirality, Helicity, W & Z bosons, and the Weak Nuclear Force.

What it has instead is the property of changing one particle into another. This means you're free to copy and share these comics (but not to sell them). Off-panel: Also what? And ironically that situation looks similar to the real scientific understanding of the topic. 199.27.128.200 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~), I prefer Chromatic Force and Flavor Force. Weak, bordering on homeopathic. The standard cup of tea, as described by the International Organization for Standardization in ISO 3103, contains two grams of tea per 100 mL of water. "Is it the weak force or the strong--" "It's gravity. It's really the nuclear force (or residual strong force) that keeps nucleons together in an atomic nucleus. The gravitational force between adjacent starlings is small. "Force-choking the chicken" might mean a technique of self-gratification by use of the "force… In #1 Fundamental Forces (xkcd 1489), the narrator starts out boldly and then winds down. Cueball is a stand-in for scientists, and while he likely understands these concepts very well, has no earthly idea how to encapsulate them for someone who hasn't studied them in-depth. Spot on. i think thats irony, but maybe not. Figure: And (4) The Weak Force. BLAG STORE ABOUT A … This means you're free to copy and share these comics (but not to sell them). More details.. the joke is its the only one he can describe easily, but then he says its the most difficult one. More details. d^2 This means you're free to copy and share these comics (but not to sell them).

Baby. —Ryan Finnie. Malamanteau314 (talk) 04:59, 6 November 2015 (UTC), Should the explanation be updated to note the discovery of gravitational waves? Or the divisibility paradoxon. So yes, the weak force can push and pull just like any other force. Relevant SMBC. Today's XKCD cartoon accurately depicts the sad state of explanations of the fundamental forces. He seems to understand the general idea of the four fundamental forces, but his understanding gets progressively more sketchy about the details. 108.162.254.98 11:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC), In high school Physics, my class was taught that physicists had recently combined the Electromagnetic and Weak Nuclear forces into the Electro-Weak Force, so there were only three and if we were to find the Higgs Boson, there might be just two or one. In this comic strip, Randall is proposing some changes to the Standard Model of particle physics. This is known as beta decay, a form of radioactivity. like if hes just saying that from a quantum point of view that gravity is the hardest, then its not really a joke. --188.114.101.78 10:31, 20 February 2015 (UTC), To me it appeared as a typical exam situation for Cueball with him being the pupil. |<
