speed of light

speed of light published on No Comments on speed of light

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.

one more character checked off the “who is ___?” comic list.

i sure hope sedna’s dad has a really good car insurance policy.

one day i was talking with an old friend on the phone when out of the blue he mentioned we live for less than 1 million hours and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it ever since, so naturally i figured i’d impart some of this existential dread on all of you folks. i’m pretty sure i’ve already spent at least 1/700th of my existence playing rome: total war.

hurray! a considerably less ridiculously time-consuming illustration than the last one. i bet people will like it more than that one anyway because clouds are pretty and life is unfair. :(

apparently i have a thing for painstakingly drawing all the stars 100% accurately and then covering half of them with clouds anyway. but it’s the thought that counts, right guys?

ingenuity (aka “ginny) still hasn’t flown yet (at least as of when this comic was published), but when it does it will be not only the first flight in the history of mars but any planet outside of earth. and if everything goes well, we might see bigger, more ambitious helicopter drones on mars in the future.

given the perseverance rover has a top speed of about 0.15km/h, i’m sure you can imagine how revolutionary it would be if we could start exploring mars from the air.
