The absurdity of understanding everything starting from just understanding basic particles is similar to the fallacy presented in 1570: Engineer Syllogism.
The title text creates an ASCII depiction of the arrows used in the comic image.
Transcript[edit]
- [Cueball gestures at a particle, represented as a dot with motion lines around it.]
- Cueball: Everything is made of tiny particles. If I understand those, I'll understand everything!
- [The comic splits into two branches.]
- [Condensed Matter Physics branch]
- [Cueball is fretting over a cloud of particles.]
- Cueball: Oh no.
- Cueball: Simple particles can combine to produce complex behaviors.
- [Quantum Field Theory branch]
- [Cueball is fretting over the same particle as in the first panel.]
- Cueball: Oh no.
- Cueball: These particles aren't simple!
