− | + | This comic is a joke on the common phrase "Shit just got ''real''", meaning that something has suddenly increased in difficulty so it is now a real challenge. [[Cueball]] is standing in front of a board delivering a lesson, and is about to multiply a wavefunction by its complex conjugate. In mathematics, the product of a complex number and its conjugate removes the imaginary part, effectively making it "real". Accordingly, Cueball dictates that the people who are not skilled enough to leave. The title text states that if you joke about this every time it's applicable, the class will ditch you and attempt to take place in another room. | |
