172.69.194.205: Undo revision 340769 by Jkshapiro (talk) Its a transcript. Transcripts really shouldn't have tables. (Yes, a number do, and some may even benefit from this, but there's no net advantage here.)

Undo revision 340769 by Jkshapiro (talk) Its a transcript. Transcripts really shouldn't *have* tables. (Yes, a number do, and some may even benefit from this, but there's no net advantage here.)

 ;Schwarzschild radius
-The {{w|Schwarzschild radius}} of a black hole refers to the event horizon: the radius beyond which light cannot escape. Curling up in a ball tends to reduce people's radii,{{fact}} while making them more spherical and easier to measure, so {{w|Karl Schwarzschild}}'s is given as 0.34 m, corresponding to a black hole of about 40 times the mass of Earth.

 ;Planck length
-{{w|Planck units}} are naturally-derived measurements invented by {{w|Max Planck}}; the Planck length (approximately 1.6×10<sup>-35</sup> m) is one of the smallest meaningful distances. However, Randall measures the length of Max Planck, not the units. It is specifically when Planck was lying down (as to not decrease his height from a days exposure to gravity which may shorten a human by a centimeter or so, and also because lying down turns a human’s height into a length, as well as being a pun on the plank exercise, which is done in a horizontal position).

	This comic plays on the name of various established physical definitions by simply taking them overly literally. Each one is treated as being a bodily measure of the scientist after which they are named, rather than describing/estimating the eponymous feature within the scientist's field of study. Interestingly, of the many {{w\|List of scientific units named after people\|units named for people}}, only one is actually a measurement of its namesake: the {{w\|Smoot}}.
