Talk:1922: Interferometry
Newbie here just added the explanition and transcript, so will need editing.172.68.34.106 16:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- I think we both added it at the same time; when I submitted mine it showed normally in the edit box with the captcha, but when I pressed save it spliced your explanation and mine together. Think yours is probably better researched (I was typing off the top of my head), so I reverted it again. -- 162.158.89.25 16:43, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Why is there a period after Interferometry in the first panel?172.68.34.106 19:04, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- It has to be a mistake. Otherwise, Beret Guy sounds like he has a weird speech cadence. Dogman15 (talk) 10:17, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Could it have something to do with the fact that it's a "period"?--162.158.63.226 02:41, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
I really like the [citation needed] on whether dogs can interfere with each other. I want it to stay! --162.158.89.61 20:05, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Dogs certainly can interfere with each other - in fact, they often have to be restrained from doing so...141.101.104.239 09:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
Beret guy is back ! I like it... 172.69.23.51 00:05, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
I feel it should be noted that these are good dogs, Brent. --108.162.246.17 04:49, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
I think the good dog part in the title text is related to the new t-shirt from Questionable Content. I think there has been guest comics one way or the other before. 162.158.134.220 06:25, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
It's different and probably unrelated, but the comic made me think of the science fiction classic _A Fire Upon The Deep_ in which there are intelligent hive mind dog packs. One dog isn't intelligent, but put 4-6 together and the pack forms a single person with human-level intelligence. 141.101.104.155 07:52, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- The latest research shows you'd need about 30 dogs to equate to one human in terms of neuron quantity (https://newatlas.com/dogs-smarter-cats-neuron-density-study/52416/), but I wouldn't expect human-level intelligence with just 30 dogs because that ignores the amount of overhead needed to control the 30 dog bodies. 198.41.238.40 11:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
A large bark does not prove a large dog - dog size and bark size are not proportionately related. The fact that the bark is apparently emanating from mid-air would be more of an indication (though this could be an auditory illusion caused by the combination of barks from the two dogs).141.101.104.239 09:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- Well, barks can make interference much easier than dogs themselves ... -- Hkmaly (talk) 23:42, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
While I get the gist of the comic, my borderline completionism won't let me completely enjoy it unless I can understand the logical connection between astronomy and dogs. How are dogs and telescopes isomorphic in the realm of interferometry? Just another random brilliant leap that only makes sense to Beret Guy (i.e., not logical to any other being on Earth)? --108.162.221.136 14:53, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
Does anyone else notice how in the third panel, HYAH seems to be coming from BG's beret button? What if the beret is controlling him?MrBookBoy (talk) 15:03, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
