+==Explanation==
 This comic is about a {{w|thermostat}} in a physics lab which, instead of controlling the air temperature, adjusts the {{w|Boltzmann constant}} in the immediate area, a value relating temperature to energy equal to 1.38×10<sup>−23</sup> J/K, where J is {{w|joule}}s, a unit of energy, and K is {{w|kelvin}}, a unit of temperature. The dial shows different values for the constant, implying that it can be changed, which would be disturbing as a lot of what our current understanding of physics assumes it can't be. Thankfully, in reality there is no way to change the Boltzmann constant, so the comic is making fun of the idea of a scientist casually adjusting a fixed law of physics as if it were something simple like room temperature.

 The title text builds on the absurdity of being able to adjust the Boltzmann constant. It suggests that if the constant could be changed, hopefully it would only affect the air in the room and not other substances. In particular, the metabolism of the room's occupants is hopefully unaffected. Imagining that this strange version of an HVAC ({{w|heating, ventilation, and air conditioning}}) system could contain such a change to ''just'' the room's air shows the ridiculousness of trying to isolate the effects of altering a universal constant.
