Who Makes This?
Mike Gioia does. And my friends Jason, Alex, Theo and twin bro Anj help out. I'm 39 years old, live in New York City and have been drawing comics since high school. Check the about page for more info.

What Say You (38)
well done mike!
I AM A DINOSAUR AND AS SUCH AM NOT WELL-VERSED IN ASTROPHYSICS NOR DO I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF AN ENVIRONMENT OUTSIDE OF THE ONE I CURRENTLY RESIDE FOR THAT MATTER.
You know, if you haven't already, you should probably email this to the guy who does xkcd, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of it :)
you don't know what string theory is
That is awesome!! You ++'ed the sh*t out of that one.
should "beging" be "begin"?
I can't stand Michio Kaku!
"So imagine the UNIVERSE is made of TINY LITTLE VIBRATING PIECES OF STRING. This causes the UNIVERSE to split up, into PARALLEL UNIVERSES. That means there are an infinite number of you in the world. In one PARALLEL UNIVERSE, you're HITLER. In another, you've got a BONER right now. In yet another, only proven science is presented on television shows. But in most, I'm still just spouting buzzwords. Also, I have cool hair."
nice catch ummm. fixed it.
that's pretty on point. i read one his books a long time and the boner universe is pretty much my main takeaway.
I'm already preparing to be that greatest astronaut. But damn, learning to play violin is hard. Especially that small.
Without reading the title, I immediately thought of xkcd. Apparently, generic stick figures+science=Randall Monroe.
Awesome, Mike!
...and in the last of James Blish's classic "Cities in Flight" series ("The Triumph of Time") the hero... namely, New York, New York... locates itself at the precise spot where the old universe is giving birth to a new universe, in order to shape the new one.
I have a boner in this universe! Somewhere I am flaccid.
I AM the boner of the Universe.
I am the boner of the universe, the winds of time are flowing through me, all things are relative to me, you're all a figment of my mind, In a world that I designed, Charged with cosmic energy, Has the world gone mad or is it me.
I am the centre of this universe, And all that it was meant to be, So that we might learn to see this foolishness, that lives in us, And stupidity that we must suss, How to banish from our minds, If you call this living I must be blind.
You guys raise some interesting points on the boner-verse.
Umm, shouldn't "yea" be spelled "yeah" (final panel)? Otherwise, a great strip!
hey mike this is so funny see u soon
love your fav cousion
,julia
rofl!
Yes, but in this universe and every other one tiger only has a 3 Wood...if you know what I mean. There is a video that shows the "Short" wood!
the comic makes as much scientific sense as the the string theory itself =)
String theory is a joke. I, and many other physicists would really much prefer it, if it would just go away
My God! And I thought the holocaust cartoon was bad! Every pixel of this one transpires scientific ignorance! I think you'd do better if you try NOT to imitate xkcd ;) --btw, Eric, you're the joke. When one does not understand the details of a theory, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is wrong... in fact, in your case, I'm certain you can't even grasp what 'wrong' even means in my sentence. ;-)
Try "The Elegant Universe". It's a bit out-dated, but a worthy attempt at explaining String theory with allegory and metaphor.
Humor Sans ftw!
Some guy already did the T-Rex joke. As an actual t-rex, this is very disheartening.
thats beautiful.
Very good comic
Actually, you're all rather wrong about string theory. It doesn't predict that there is an infinite number of you(s), but that there are an infinite number of possible you(s). Also, most physicists/cosmologists actually support further research in string theory, not the other way round. Finally, string theory makes very clear many things which would remain otherwise undefined. String theory elegantly and neatly combines all theories into one - something that has been pursued by science since its very beginning.
SOMEWHERE IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE I'M NOT SURROUNDED BY A FILM CREW WHENEVER I'M IN THE WILDERNESS. better drink my own piss
u cant travel faster than light
gay
I hold my pants up with a piece of twine, because you're mine please pull the twine.
I went to the store to buy waffles but they were out of bacon, so I bought butter instead.
There is no "center" of the universe, at least in the traditional sense. The universe expands at the same speed from every point in all directions. In time, this will reverse, but the same principle holds true. There is no precise center of the universe to contract to.

I am a real life cat and after reading this my understanding of human knowledge skyrocketed but I fear that I may soon return to my normal state soninkst take this time to tell all of you the wonder of life as a cat. Firstly allow me to tell you that being a cat is nothing like anyomeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow
