Okay, there are two types of people who read Irregular Webcomic!:

1. People who have studied quantum physics. Those people are now rolling on the floor with laughter.
2. People who have not studied quantum physics. Those people are now scratching their heads and going "WTF?"

So many geekish pedants wrote to tell me that in strip #334 I had made a mistake in specifying a heading of 435, because headings only go up to 360, that I felt I needed to address it and give an explanation. In keeping with the fact that it was only unredeemable geeks who pointed out my "mistake", I offer an explanation that you have to be a serious geek to even understand. Heh heh...

If you don't understand the joke, okay, I'll explain it. Baryons are subatomic particles of a class including protons and neutrons, all of which are fermions and thus have internal symmetry governed by the rotation group SU(2)... er...

Fermions are particles that obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle... er...

The Pauli Exclusion Principle is a law of nature that exludes quantum particles of half-integral spin... er...

Um...

One of the failings of classical physics at the turn of the 19th century was its inability to predict the electromagnetic spectrum of a radiating black body... er...

Classical physics is based on the three laws of motion codified by Isaac Newton in 1686...

Oh, go read about it yourself.

But seriously, I originally used a heading of 435 in strip #334 knowing full well that headings normally only go up to 360. I deliberately chose 435 precisely because I knew it wasn't a standard heading, and just thought it would add some more surrealism. I didn't think anyone would actually call me on it.
