It's the precise amount of caffeine required to speed up your metabolism enough to achieve measurable time dilation.
For science.
Mr Intrepid:
Smif College has a physics department. Good on them. I wonder if Penelope is part of that?

:-o
This is fascinating and disturbing at the same time.
I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious... but can anyone explain why Jeph would say he's both so happy and so angry with this comic?
Also good on Marigold for a very valiant effort this week! Not only telling Dale about her insecurities but also not letting them dictate her behaviour. That's tough work, so good on her.

--- Quote from: traroth on 05 Feb 2019, 06:20 ---Using deep learning and collected user data, Google could probably offer a "searches you will probably be interested in" feature. I mean a feature that would hit the nail on the head most of the time...

Ja, but being made by Google, it'd have backdoors for and reporting to the CIA and other assorted alphabet soup agencies.
cesium133:
Some (crappy) ideas for other physics coffee drinks:
The Rydberg: black coffee filled to the brim of the cup so the slightest motion spills it on you.
The Ion: the cup is underfilled, but at least it doesn't spill all over you.
The Bose Einstein Condensate: Iced coffee, frozen solid.
The Magneto Optical Trap: Iced coffee, with a laser etched sketch in the bottom of a magnetic cup.
Schrödinger's Cat: 16 oz. espresso, or 16 oz. of vaguely brown water. Final state not determined until you taste it.
The Evaporative Cooling: coffee served at 195 degrees Fahrenheit. You should probably blow on it some before trying it.
