Hello and welcome to Dear Hank and John. Or as I like to think of it, Dear Randall and Hank.

It's a podcast where two brothers and sometimes a brother and a friend answer your questions,

give you debuse advice, and bring you all the weeks news from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon

today. Oh, sorry, I have to tell a dad joke. My dad joke is, do you know why physics and

biology broke up? No, why? Because there was no chemistry. Though one has to say that there's

plot, there's lots of chemistry and biology, but there isn't really any in physics. You know,

physical chemistry is just sort of the scariest type of physics. So I, yeah, I took that class.

I was just, I was just whining about that class as a 42 year old man 20 years later. I was

whining about that class. Anything that exists on the boundary between those, you know, the major

branches of science, it's always harder than either one of the things that it shares. It's like nobody

knows what to do now. They're like, but there's no one specializing in this. So we haven't figured out

how to, but it's, it's all the same thing, Randall, as you, I'm sure no. And that thing is science.

Yeah. Well, I guess it's all, I guess it's all particles. Yeah, or, or, you know, waves or

some kind of complicated construct that we simplify into one or one of one of one of the other of

these models. Right. Into the idea of particle summaries. It's all fields doing field stuff to

each other and we don't know why. There's gauges in there somewhere. Oh, I didn't know about those.

Certainly. Yeah. I know more about those. There's tensors. I'm sure, you know, probably some

tensors drifting around somewhere. Uh-huh. Definitely vectors. Yeah. Oh, for sure.

For scalers. Yeah. So Randall, if you don't know, has been making a comic on the internet called

XKCD since 2005. Okay. Yes. Okay. Wow. Look at me. That I was a fan of and have been a fan of

for the whole time. I mean, it's, it's legendary. As a person who creates on the internet, generally,

it's great to see somebody who's careful and good at being a creator on the internet and as a
