Editing Talk:1351: Metamaterials

You should also note the reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roses_are_red - which should be quite obvious though.

Is there any guidelines for making a transcript? In my opinion any explanation of the comic should stop at a note of who deliver the line. Only when it is not clear in which order a text should be read or for special comics should there be anything else than written text from the comic.

:Take a look [http://explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Transcripts here]. It was a (short) discussion about transcripts. {{User:Grep/signature|12:20, 04 April 2014}}

If I'm not terrible mistaken, this is not how metamaterials work. Can anybody link me a work about wavelength-shifting metamaterials?

:I have a feeling this cartoon would be funnier if it ''was'' how metamaterials work. But what do I know about metamaterials? The reference to Instagram was pretty funny, though. Why people want to wreck fine photos is beyond me. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.225.157|108.162.225.157]] 05:08, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

For red to turn into blue, you still need a nonlinear medium and a lot of red. Or maybe a temporally modulated medium with a modulation similiar to the frequency of visible light...?
(This needs to go in the discussion. Not the explanation. FTFY. You are welcome. ;) [[Special:Contributions/173.245.55.67|173.245.55.67]] 20:25, 4 April 2014 (UTC)BK201

;The title text
I understood it as a filter that go online into peoples instagram pictures and turning them back to the original version. That is also a kind of a meta material - ie. not a real material. Of course(?) Randall will not apply a filter in front of every users camera when the picture is taken and before people use a filter on this "meta filtered" picture when they post it on instagram...? The reason I wish someone else to make the change is that I do not use instagram or filters and hope someone else who can do this better than me now dare to change this wrong explanation :-) [[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

:I really think it's a sheet that Megan holds in front of the flowers, and not a box. And I think that Randall does indeed mean to hold a sheet in front of peoples cameras when they take a picture. The phrase photobombing is used for the act of intruding into the camera view when someone is taking a photo in order to disturb the picture (for example jumping out in front of a group photo, obscuring the group). {{unsigned ip|141.101.80.205}}

::Well good thing I didn't correct then :-) But then the explanation is not good enough for someone not using these things. Is it so that you apply the filter before you take the photo directly into instagram - so you never see the real photo. Then the title would make some sence!

It's a box. If you look closely you can see the side in panel 3 and the bottom in panel 4. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.44|108.162.219.44]] 05:35, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Roses are green / violets are yellow / inverting the colors / makes them quite mellow [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.238|108.162.245.238]] 20:55, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
