#3247: Particle Census

XKCD comic, described below.
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.
