#3155: Physics Paths

XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Panel 1, Cueball has one hand out, below his shoulder, palm facing up and is straight:]

Cueball: Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value.

[Panel 2, Cueball has one hand on his chin:]

Cueball: I hope I have value. I'll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check.

[arrow pointing down with the caption below in between:]

Time passes

[arrow pointing down to Panel 3, which has Cueball with both of his hands out and up:]

Cueball: On no! My insight didn't overturn physics! But I don't think I'm worthless...

[Arrow from Panel 3 on the left labeled "Healthy path" points to a panel with Cueball with his hands on his chin:]

Cueball: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value.

[Arrow from Panel 3 on the right labeled "Path of ruin" points to another panel with Cueball with his finger out and pointing up:]

Cueball: The establishment must be suppressing my insight!
