    Oh, that reminds me… did you see that we’re getting to the point of imaging the electron shell?

    Hmm. Does that particular “talking about” actually qualify as a conversation? It doesn’t seem as if it’s a discussion.

    If there was any common ground there, I think it probably washed off in the showers before they came into the pool area.

    Observation collapses the probability wave only if you are in Copenhagen.

        Can you really trust Q?
        True, he/she/it is a cosmic, omni-potent entity with literally eons of experience and he never lies straight to you.
        Problem is he/she/it never tells you all the facts, either.

        ESPECIALLY the facts that would enable you to understand what he/she/it has been talking about.

      EDIT: just noticed everyone has significantly different eyes. Glassy and voids for digit and Val, while the devil girls’ pupils are horizontal slits and triangles (!)

        March 14th = 3/14 = Pi Day.

    I have conversations like that all the time.

    And yes. The other person usually likes pie.

      Is it even a valid discussion of theoretical physics if there’s no mention of what pastry should be used for encapsulation?

    Reminds me of a late evening when my friend and I had gotten into a discussion on similar matters (in spite of neither of us being remotely qualified to even have an opinion on them). My friend’s wife, who had gone to bed earlier, came down, saying she had trouble falling asleep and thought she’d sit and talk to us a bit. And then she asked what we were talking about, and we explained that we were discussing whether space was expnading with the universe, or whether it might exist independently of the expansion.
    And she looked at us and said ‘I’d better go back to bed’

      I often have that type of conversation with my spouse (otherwise known as She Who Must Be Listened To) and usually without the need of chemical assists. Between my sci/tech background and her soft sciences, some of the more esoteric concepts end up being summarized either by tortured analogies or “It’s Big JuJu!”

    I chuckled when I noticed how Valerie and Digit’s stance changed between first and last panels, a visual “Huh?” and “Whaaaat…?”

    Just wondering if we’re seeing one of those different possibilities they’re referring to since Valerie did not have her bikini top colored in? Just like Tina referred to once of other quantum realities and how we slip in and out of them.

    Perhaps she meant ‘pi’ and simply mispelled her own word bubble. She could have been theorizing that the fourth and fifth dimensions are interrelated, with the exploration of each based on dimensions past the 3 dimensions of this Universe, and since expansion of the Universe may be in the directions leading into the 4th and subsequently 5th dimensions, there could be spherical expansion going on, with pi being instrumental in exploring calculations which could lead to mathematical realities which in turn contribute to finding and understanding the theorems which then support principles which are relevant to the examination of characteristics of objects within both the 4th and 5th dimensions. Hence, she likes Pi for being a constant that could lead to at least a conceptual furthering of understanding. After all, what better place to start than a cosmological constant, possibly constant across dimensions.

    Just sayin’.

      But what if life is a simulation based on the passage of time in relation to our realities? The advancement of time being synchronized with how we as people perceive the motion of occurrence pertaining the given dimension we inhabit in that particular point in time. Time itself could stand still for EONS and we’ll never perceive the occurrence within our dimensional universe! (Waspish Square really opens one’s mind to the caveats and nuances of universe-encumbered laws, don’t it?) 🥴😵
