Cubicle Conundrum – Day 45 – A tribute to (read ‘slap on the face of’) Quantum Physics

N: (Humming pleasantly)

Q: Someone’s in a good mood.

N: Yeah I’m meeting some guys from the physics club later on. We’re about to prove the existence of black holes.

Q: Wow. Conclusively?

N: Absolutely. We’re going to note our observations today and then work on the Mathematical proof later.



Q: What kind of observations?

N: Well obviously we can’t peer out into space using the telescopes we can buy at a local store, so we had to improvise. We found a perfect real-time live model here on earth to mimic the exact same behavior as that which could be found in a black hole.



Q: That’s really awesome. What are you observing?

N: I probably shouldn’t tell you. This is real cutting edge stuff.



Q: Come on. Give me something.

N: It’s code named Gee Mee Mopay.



Q: So if I had to guess, ‘Gee’ is for Gravitation. ‘Mee’ probably refers to mesons which are going to form a part of whatever quantum theory you will be using. The strands and fibers on a ‘Mop’ probably is an allusion to the string theory and ‘Ay’ is for Albert Einstein as a tribute?

N: ….

Q: You are talking about black holes right? What goes in never comes out? No sign of it ever going in either?

N: ….

Q: That same black hole which never really acknowledges the existence of what just happened?



N: Yes. That black hole. Except we’re observing my boss and his reaction to me saying “Give me more pay”. Your explanation sounds cooler though.
