This is probably nitpicking, but covering the opening of a hose doesn't increase the pressure of the stream, it increases flow rate instead, and with it the nozzle velocity. The pressure at the end of a hose is equal to ambient pressure, and the flow rate adjusts itself to achieve this. (At least in sub-sonic conditions that you would normally encounter, though this may not apply to the LHC...)

I think it was because explainxkcd was down when this comic was published (agian :/) --Clarkexckd8 (talk) 13:01, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
