This is making me realize how much of real life operates with what people would consider troll physics were it not observably true. Black holes come to mind. Also shooting bullets underwater.

MODERATORS
Einstein: My theory predicts that there could be a hole in reality that we could never observe from the outside, but that's ridiculous. It can't exist.
Oppenheimer: I guess these holes could form in our universe when a heavy star runs out of fuel, but I doubt this means anything real.
Wheeler: Wait a sec...
I'm curious now, what did Wheeler find/discover/realize?
Spin
He named them black holes and pushed for research into them. He also didn't believe they could exist at first.
Have you looked at Quantum Mechanics?
I tried, but I altered its state by observing it.
Perfect answer
What happens when you shoot a bullet under water?
For most weapons they shoot at a normal speed then stop after like 3 feet
It doesn't travel nearly as far as you would normally expect. Some guns are useless to hit underwater targets.
This is a stupid idea and it will never work.
Yeah, what would you even call such an invention? Ballon Aircraft? Hot Aircraft? Air Hot Ballon? It just doesn't make any sense.
Hot sack flybox, obviously.
Things heavier than air cannot fly!
scientists will say this is real
Look at what scientists have been demanding our respect for all this time.
They have played us for absolute fools
OP gona be found dead by suicide with two gunshots back of head 😵
I'm wondering how hot air balloons were invented. Did someone in the past started a fire in their tent, and the tent flew away?
The first hot air balloons were those sky lanterns which were used in China as military signals. It took 1500 years for some bored French guys to say "yeah, let's make that but big enough to carry us".
Probably smaller. China has very early history of using small hot air balloons for signalling or celebrations. It may have taken the invention of thin paper for something light enough for buoyancy.
Probably
Problem, science?
Shouldn't the last panel be something about pondering the orb while flying?
I
That is literally how hot air balloons work
So yes, that actually works, you just need a REALLY big sack
I think that’s the joke.
it's the first time I've seen this sort of reversal on the "trollface perpetual motion machine" memes, it's pretty great
My favorite is about nuclear power plants.
Fissile materials make heat
Put them in water
Use the boiling water to run a steam generator
Free electricity
God dammit I'm an idiot
It happens to all of us, eventually.

That may even be the joke.
It's the joke.
That comment above may have been sarcastic.
Nuh-uh!
Sounds fake.
Anon discovered hot air balloons
This would never work!
So I just need to become the town gossip to harness this power? Sorcerers having charisma as the primary stat is starting to make sense
That was invented where I live, not OC !
