"Some people say light is waves, and some say it's particles, so I bet light is some in-between thing that's both wave and particle depending on how you look at it. Am I right?" "YES, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE!"

Is this... an introductory course in relativity, disguised as a joke?
Am I accidentally learning something here?
Guys?
yes it is
Not really, relativity plays no role here. It's classical Newtonian physics.
I still count that as learning.
I was more referring to the fact that xkcd's comics have a lot of science in them, rather than the specific type of science
Relatively speaking, though…
XKCD is basically all math jokes.
