Talk:702: Snow Tracking
The title-text could also be a reference to Bugs Bunny, many episodes had such play-on-words as title. ("A witch's tangled hare", "A Feather in his Hare", "Compressed Hare", many more...) -- Gegueure01:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC) (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
It could be mentioned that the Higgs signature shown is probably a Higgs->top anti-top/bottom anti-bottom->jet-jet signature, and most certainly not the clearest observed channel right now of Higgs->gamma gamma (as there is no neutral signature, which would be a track appearing some from the center, and there are clearly two jets to be seen). This is a difficult channel to observe, and is much more important in higher Higgs mass regions than the now observed, where b-bbar is present, but gamma gamma is much easyer to observe.85.164.251.29 13:11, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Velociraptors are suspiciously missing from this comic... Just some random derp 19:18, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
I first thought of the Beverly Cleary mouse books too, but Ralph S. Mouse rode a motorcycle, not a bicycle. 162.158.74.106 (talk) 13:14, 7 December 2016 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Could it be a reference to Biker Mice From Mars? --141.101.105.31 08:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
I don't understand the knight tracks. They appear to move the same distance forward as they do to the side. Knights can't move like that. 108.162.219.136 (talk) 17:22, 27 March 2017 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- The Knight Tracks panel represents a series of knight hops, rather than a single move. 162.158.107.121 21:29, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- The knight didn't have much to orientate with, so his mental checkerboard could easily have overspun.141.101.77.232 17:31, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- I'm also not so sure that this refers to a chess piece. If you look at each dot as a single hop, there are several dots where the only possible way it could have hopped from one to the other is in a completely straight line. KelpTheGreat (talk) 16:02, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
- From the bottom of frame, it's clearly two forward(/up)+one right, two forward+one left, two forward+one right, two forward+one left, two right+one up, two right+one up, two down+one left, two right+one down, two right+one up, the last of these being off the right side of the frame. Haven't done pixel-measurement, but it's seems visually quite consistent in that manner. 78.151.45.31 19:51, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
The Higgs Boson frame is significantly different from all the others because it represents an image from a cloud chamber not tracks in snow. Brenda (talk) 09:15, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
Which was is the bicycle going? There is a way to figure it out. Someone help 172.68.65.192 (talk) 23:27, 3 December 2018 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The Prius isn't a reference to dodgy pedals, but the drivers being horrible themselves. As you can see here, the car VEERS off the road. It does not brake, nor speed up. 198.41.238.10 (talk) 05:13, 17 June 2019 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Maybe. But one of the issues with the sticking pedals was that the brakes wouldn't slow the car down. I think the timing of this suggests the brake pedal explanation. L-Space Traveler (talk) 09:09, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
