The bit about the Doppler effect being similar to a bullet fired from a moving car is simply incorrect. That's vector addition of velocities. Sound traveling from a source is going to travel at the speed of sound in the medium, and the only addition of velocities would be to the extent that the car is moving the air around it. Also, the Doppler effect doesn't make sounds louder, that's simply a function of the distance between you and the source changing, independent of velocity. Edited the text accordingly.

This comic seems to be poor nerd sniping for explainxkcd to get into a long explanation why galaxies are red ... --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.247.172|172.70.247.172]] 20:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC) | This comic seems to be poor nerd sniping for explainxkcd to get into a long explanation why galaxies are red ... --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.247.172|172.70.247.172]] 20:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC) | ||
