Your Thoughts?

    Yeah, I like it. As it was already said once: Rainbow is not less marvelous now that we know how it is formed. It’s equally beautiful when we take magic out of it.

    I know, it is boring and dull to read scientific papers, but for people who understand it and love it, it is not boring. Scientific paper is no less interesting to scientists than music notes to musicians. The problem is when you make musician read scientific paper and scientist to read musician’s notes.

    Unless the scientist is also a musician, as some are.

    This is one of my favorite xkdc strips.
