Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes and no.
Psh, that's nothing. Quarks have flavors
But what has feelings?
Women
Would it blow your mind if i said women are made of atoms?
Or, hold on to your hat because this is where it gets wild; MEN have feelings too and are on average made of even MORE atoms!
Of course women only get 70% of the atoms that men do. ATOMIC PATRIARCHY BE DAMMED!
"What do we want?"
"Atomic parity!"
"When do we want it?"
"On second thought, it's probably a bad idea!"
Bariogenesis: "Am I a joke to you?"
Eh, I think it's an hard clear Yes. The radiation released by an element when coming out of an excited state depends on the energy difference between N levels and it is generally consistent for that given element.
How do they get excited? You give them energy. How? One way is by shinning a light.
Is there a name for radiation of a specific frequency within the visible spectrum? Yes. A color.
All rare gas lightbulbs even have a specific color.
The only way for us to discount the emission specturm as a color is if we go philosophical about the nature of color. And that's for literary nerds, not physics nerds, and I doubt people google the former as frequently as the latter.
True, but a childish intuition about "having a color" would most likely imply that you can see a structure of the thing (like a ball) that is colored in (which you can't with atoms). On the other hand if you consider an atom a tiny pointsource, like a star in the sky, then it makes sense again.
Instead of comparing it to a ball with colour on it, you could compare it to a ball of colour. Which atoms are.
No they aren't. Atoms don't have a 'texture' or surface.
