More nefarious anti-physics propaganda fueled by coupling constant envy.
Hello! Grand Unification. High energy interactions. Quark-gluon action so hot you can’t tell up from down. Or strange from charm, or top from bottom! Asymptotic freedom, man.

Oh my.

At least some physicists are concentrating on what’s behind chemistry and biology and all the other stuff.
I’m with AJS, but physics might just eventually also help give biologists and chemists a little more insight on how biochemical complexity might be manifested elsewhere with mechanisms engineered through natural selection that are utterly foreign to our parochial thinking on a single planet. (Obligatory ;)
Zeno says
What? Nothing about mathematicians?
chigau (違う) says
Archaeologists do it in the dirt.
Akira MacKenzie says
Ummmm… The Triassic is in the Mesozoic Era.
CaitieCat says
Linguists do it cunningly. :)
DataWrangler says
Statisticians do it with random deviates.

Business majors… Uhm…
… Spend a lot of time in a dark room listening to Portishead, sobbing uncontrollably while masturbating furiously.
Sigh… I’m so lonely.
magistramarla says
So how hot is the relationship of a combination biologist/chemist/computer scientist with a Classical languages linguist/historian?
Kimpatsu says
What does attraction have to do with sex?
The comic is half-right; biologists are more fucked up than physicists…
:D
mnb0 says
In addition to @6: sex is impossible without harmonic oscillations.
alanuk says
You are all just stamp collectors.
AJS says
There’s still an implicit assumption in there that (two-person) sex is objectively good.
Shame on you for blatant discrimination against asexuals and autosexuals! ;)
Rutee Katreya says
Wouldn’t chemists be incredibly open to orgies, if this is the logic being employed?
Weed Monkey says
Just to make sure everyone’s seen it… the alt text to Trebuchet’s #7 is giggleworthy.
Isaac says
Astronomers do it in tractors:

George Takei’s voice is assumed <3
ibyea says
Ouch, that is a low blow to physics. ^_^
marcusbailius says
Mmm… I was told a long time ago, that physicists actually invented sex. Remember, every couple has its moment in a field…
erik333 says
I smell physics envy.
Ichthyic says
I’m betting Brian Cox does pretty well for himself.
Dr Marcus Hill Ph.D. (arguing from his own authority) says
Yeah, but it’s all from D:Ream groupies…
lijdare says
Sorry, but geologists are forever getting their rocks off….
David Marjanović says
Geologists do drink lots of beer.
ismenia says
I thought geologists do it in thrust zones. Or was it on bedding planes?

#6: or just stay newtonian with good old rigid body mechanics :)
