Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1
Person 1: "ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE MEISSNER EFFECT?"

Panel 2
Person 2: "WHEN A SUPERCONDUCTOR GETS COOL ENOUGH, IT SUDDENLY EJECTS ITS MAGNETIC FIELD."
Person 2: "SO THE MAGNETIC FIELD LINES MOVE AROUND THE SUPERCONDUCTOR INSTEAD OF THROUGH IT."

Panel 3
Person 1: "I HAVE THIS THEORY THAT, IF A PERSON BECOMES COLD ENOUGH EMOTIONALLY, THEY HAVE A MENTAL MEISSNER EFFECT, WHERE OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS SIMPLY WARP AROUND THEM WITH NO PENETRATION."

Panel 4
Person 2: "I TOLD YOU, I DIDN'T FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY, I JUST GOT STUCK AT WORK."
Person 1: "WOW! HOW DO THE FEELINGS JUST KNOW WHERE NOT TO ENTER?"
