that girl’s got a good family. :)

well, that’s the end of this little sedna+mum series. hope you guys enjoyed it. it’s a nice break from all the usual science geekery just to have some characters goofing around every now and then (and it’s nice not to have to do any research for once).

but for the (probably) small percentage of you who are actually here for the educational science comics, stay tuned for next week. ;)

wait, sedna has a mother?!

that’s right, apparently sedna actually had a mum back in classic sedna. i’d been meaning to reimagine and redesign her a bit before reintroducing her to the comic, but ended up taking so long most new readers probably just assumed sedna’s dad was a single parent by now. well, here she finally is, looking a tiiiny bit different from before. hope you guys enjoy the next batch of mum comics because they were a blast to write.

(also now i’m wondering if sedna having two loving parents automatically disqualifies her from ever getting a disney tv/movie adaptation.)

craters

that’s right mates, there’s a crater on mercury called disney (and you’ll know why if you look at its shape). so technically if you were to say “disney is the worst and we should shoot it into the sun”, you could argue you were talking about the crater and the mouse couldn’t sue you.

i’m just saying. you could do that if wanted to. just putting it out there.

(this comic was a real pain in the butt to draw by the way. good thing there’s a 3d map of mercury available online or i would have totally given up on trying to draw all the craters accurately)

it’s not vandalism if it’s for scienceā„¢! right?

by the way, to all you confused americans, that thing is called a “cricket bat”. cricket is this crazy sport that’s like baseball but actually slightly interesting.

well, this is definitely the nerdiest comic i’ve ever done. sorry to everyone who’s just here for the cute drawings.

this is a really counterintuitive concept, because “travelling through time” is the exact opposite of what it is in a time travel movie. if you travel quickly trough time, you actually get to the future slower (from your perspective).

if you want to “time travel” to the future, you need to move slowly through time (by moving really fast through space, like neutrinos) so that everything else ages much faster than you.

yeah i know it’s confusing. blame einstein, not me.

fun fact: if you lie around in your room all day, you’ve technically moved further than someone who ran a marathon from east to west in the same time, relative to the centre of the earth.

unfortunately, fitness apps don’t seem to understand this for some strange reason.
