The Carnot cycle is a theoretical construct from thermodynamics describing an ideal way to produce work using a temperature differential. The shape of the diagram matches diagrams of said cycle. The different stages in the Carnot cycle are either isentropic or isothermal. 'Isometric', 'Isotonic', and 'Isopropyl' all play on the 'iso' prefix. 'Isometric' also describes the shape of the diagram. 'Isotonic' seems to have something to do with muscles... which I suppose have some relation to engines as well—they both do work. | The Carnot cycle is a theoretical construct from thermodynamics describing an ideal way to produce work using a temperature differential.

Did anyone notice that there is a note on the top of XKCD about how to register to vote?

:Randall often gives some hints to elections, in this case it's the {{w|United States House of Representatives elections, 2018}} on November 6, 2018. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 17:30, 24 October 2018 (UTC) | :Randall often gives some hints to elections, in this case it's the {{w|United States House of Representatives elections, 2018}} on November 6, 2018. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 17:30, 24 October 2018 (UTC) | ||

Please read the [[explain xkcd:Editor FAQ|Editor FAQ]] about tables, this here was a good example where tables should not be used (check the history at this comic for the former layout.) Furthermore we should explain the comic but not the real Carnot Cycle, that's done in the Wiki link or at least it should be done in a separate chapter. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 18:06, 24 October 2018 (UTC) | Please read the [[explain xkcd:Editor FAQ|Editor FAQ]] about tables, this here was a good example where tables should not be used (check the history at this comic for the former layout.)

:I'm sure it doesn't need a full explanation, but because the pairings of the stages are part of the joke, I think it's necessary to explain what each stage is. But just enough to explain the contrast. –[[User:P1h3r1e3d13|P1h3r1e3d13]] ([[User talk:P1h3r1e3d13|talk]]) 18:39, 24 October 2018 (UTC) | :I'm sure it doesn't need a full explanation, but because the pairings of the stages are part of the joke, I think it's necessary to explain what each stage is.

One section before dark energy is mentioned, in Cosmology this energy causes the ''cosmic inflation''. I'm sure Randall talks about this. But maybe we just should mention both. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 18:12, 24 October 2018 (UTC) | One section before dark energy is mentioned, in Cosmology this energy causes the ''cosmic inflation''.
