#3247: Particle Census
Permalink
Transcript
[Megan is standing behind a lectern, addressing an unseen audience.]
Megan: Remember, Tuesday is the decennial particle census.
Megan: Physicists will be recording the location of all particles in the universe.
[Zoom out to show Megan is on a podium behind the lectern. She holds one hand, palm up, out towards the still unseen audience]
Megan: Of course, this will cause their momenta to become indeterminite, so please plan for some disruption.
[The same scene with Megan's hands held down. A voice comes from off-panel at the left through a star burst at the edge of the panel.]
Audience member [off-panel]: Wait, disruption? Where will my particles go?
Megan: No one can say, but you'll know exactly where they were.
