In cosmology, small density variations in the early universe grow over time: regions with slightly higher density attract more matter via <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Gravity\"><span title=\"Gravity on Wikipedia\">gravity</span></a>, eventually forming <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cloud\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Gas cloud\"><span title=\"Gas cloud on Wikipedia\">gas cloud</span>s</a>, stars, and galaxies. Pressure, driven by temperature, resists collapse, so the evolution of a cloud depends on the balance between gravitational attraction and internal pressure; this is often described by the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeans_instability\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Jeans instability\"><span title=\"Jeans instability on Wikipedia\">Jeans instability</span></a> criterion.\n</p><p>In the first panel, the on-screen narrator (with a passing resemblance to the <a href=\"/wiki/index.php/Category:Time-Traveling_Sphere\" title=\"Category:Time-Traveling Sphere\">time-travelling sphere</a> and other speaking dots uses in xkcd), an apparent creator of the universe, describes pressure waves moving through gas and causing it to clump. In the second, the clouds begin to collapse under gravity as more gas falls in. The third panel sees the outcome: as collapse proceeds, the gas heats up (via compression and radiation processes), increasing pressure and eventually sparking fusion. The comic depicts the formation of stars, something that we know this universe has done,<sup>[<a href=\"/wiki/index.php/285:_Wikipedian_Protester#top\" title=\"285: Wikipedian Protester\"><i>citation needed</i></a>]</sup> with the implication that this was a totally unforeseen outcome for the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demiurge\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Demiurge\"><span title=\"Demiurge on Wikipedia\">manipulator</span></a> or <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creator_deity\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Creator deity\"><span title=\"Creator deity on Wikipedia\">creator</span></a> of this universe.\n</p><p>The final panel humorously frames this as the narrator lamenting the destruction of their \"beautiful clouds,\" as the process has gone out of their control and produced a star instead of the desired (and perhaps, to their mind, more aesthetically pleasing) gently pulsating clouds.\n</p><p>The title text continues this joke by referencing the importance of ionization. \"Cool\" gas clouds (low temperature, neutral gas) can remain stable or collapse slowly. If they are ionized (for example, by nearby stars emitting <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Ultraviolet\"><span title=\"Ultraviolet on Wikipedia\">ultraviolet</span></a> radiation), the gas heats up, increasing pressure and preventing or disrupting collapse. The narrator hopes to preserve some of their own calm, neutral clouds but then reacts in horror as something ionizes them, ruining the delicate balance and ending their ability to \"enjoy\" stable gas clouds. But this is a natural result of <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_formation\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Star formation\"><span title=\"Star formation on Wikipedia\">star formation</span></a> within and around a <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Nebula\"><span title=\"Nebula on Wikipedia\">nebula</span></a> again unforeseen by the being who apparently set up the circumstances that led to all the cosmic evolution we see.\n</p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Transcript\">Transcript</span><span class=\"mw-editsection\"><span class=\"mw-editsection-bracket\">[</span><a href=\"/wiki/index.php?title=3222:_Star_Formation&action=edit&section=T-2\" title=\"3222: Star Formation\">edit</a><span class=\"mw-editsection-bracket\">]</span></span></h2>\n<dl><dd>[A black dot with star burst all around it is speaking, as indicated with a line from one of the burst lines to the text above it.
