Our friends, jorge cham and daniel whiteson, have an awesome new paysics/cosmology book coming out called we have no idea. So, we thought wed do a crossover comic. Theres also a regular smbc update, which you can see now by pressing the n key. :0. Zach :I think pop science sometimes gives the wrong impression of dark matter. People think it's this thing somewhere way out in space, like its a black hole or something. :But dark matter is here! We're probably swimming in it! :If you look at the center of our galaxy, there's a huge dark matter halo. It's most dense at the center, but it extends out in every direction. :If the earth wasn't surrounded by dark matter, that would mean our neighborhood is the only place in the galaxy that lacks the most common stuff in the universe. :But what is this stuff? Nobody knows! :The only thing we know is that it feels gravity, it doesn't feel electromagnetism, and it doesn't feel the weak or strong nuclear force. :So if say I got a box, I could say, "this contains dark matter :Hmm. No. Not really. I mean, the box doesn't "contain" it. The box is around dark matter, but the dark matter just moves through it. :I suppose you could say it's a "box of dark matter." :And speaking as an expert, would the same be true of let's say a re-used giftbag? :L... sure. But why? :Oh! There wego! :Later... :What'd you get us for christmas, mommy?/ :Remember how you told me you like mysteries? :To read more about their book, or to just give in to your dorky impulse and buy now, go to: Pmdcomics.Com/noidea :Caption: smbc-comics.com ==Votey Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Faq: :Gzach, how come your art 15 so good today? :A: Fuck you! {{comic discussion}} [[Category:Comics tagged science]][[Category:Guest artist]]
