Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic you provided:
Panel 1:
- A girl with curly red hair and a light brown shirt is talking, excitedly explaining.
- She says: "Because distance is infinitely divisible, if you assign number pairs to each letter of the alphabet, you can specify any string of letters just by pointing to a very specific place on this centimeter and getting its decimal output."
- There's a small chart beside her showing:
0=a, 01=b, 02=c.
Panel 2:
- The scene shows the same girl continuing to explain, gesturing.
- She says: "In fact, that sentence I just said is at a particular point on the centimeter, as was this one, and whatever you or I say in the future."
- Another girl with darker hair listens.
Panel 3:
- The curly-haired girl states: "The centimeter has read every book there will ever be and knows every scientific fact that can be."
- She continues: "It knows the future of our friendship. It knows how we'll die. It knows how the universe ends and how it began."
- There’s an equation shown:
2+1=3.
Panel 4:
- A diagram shows: "Up is down, rotated 90 degrees."
- The other girl, listening, looks confused and replies: "What’s the point of doing anything then?"
- The curly-haired girl responds: "Well, the centimeter also 'knows' a bunch of crazy stuff."
- There's a comment off-panel: "Ponies aren't awesome."
Panel 5:
- The discussion continues, with the curly-haired girl saying: "So I know infinity less than the centimeter, but have infinity better discretion."
- The other girl replies: "Yeah, that’s basically your life. You know relatively no information, but you’re relatively great at using it."
Panel 6:
- The curly-haired girl adds: "I bet if I tell Bobby about this, he'll like me."
- The other girl smirks and says: "Well, you’re okay at using it."
