There is no rope in black hole analogy. On the other hand ... maybe one day this becomes common analogy for explaining some method of FTL travel ... -- Hkmaly (talk) 08:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

It is no rope - it is a rubber sheet seen from the side. Sebastian --178.26.121.97 14:01, 9 January 2013 (UTC)sorry, you meant the rope there ;-) Sebastian --178.26.121.97 20:18, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Did you see the harmonics of the wave? I think there are four different ones in the third frame. Sebastian --178.26.121.97 14:01, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

- Two harmonics, two different phases of each. 123.237.156.13 15:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me there should be a cross-reference to 895: Teaching Physics (and if I knew more about the conventions of this wiki I would be bold and add it myself... but I don't, so I won't.) --67.36.177.100 17:35, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Furthermore, you could see the "BOOOIING" in this comic as an alternative to the "Boooooring" (only one-letter difference) at the end of 895: Teaching Physics : Instead of becoming boring after "...Annnnd..." cliffhanger, the demonstration becomes really fun. Anyone to add that point in the explanation if relevant ? --KoundelitchNico (talk) 09:36, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
