Thanks for voting!
The Dragon Twins Company sounds like a fun company to hire. I like that Kai includes some fine print.
And here we see Misha starting to understand physics.
Goodness, I’m here before the resident poet laureate? Well, I love the cheeky (if completely necessary) contract before this begins. And what do you know? Looks like Misha learns the same way Kaya does…should be excellent.
Wait, is Kaya actually managing to be a good physics teacher?
So often it’s the ones that get it intuitively that are the worst at teaching, because “it’s so obvious!”
I am really bad at teaching physics/chemistry for that exact reason… It is so obvious how things work, and trying to teach that is nigh impossible.
Well, it doesn’t help that I have the people skills of an average rock either.
Give in, dear Misha, give in;
it’s the only possible way to win;
When you see the wiggle begin
surrender is the only course.
Kai knows all the finest print;
something that gives you the hint
it’s no marathon, it’s a sprint.
Hanging on is your best recourse.
Kaya likes playing bouncing ball,
even in the library hall.
See her there, teaching tall.
For Physics, she’s an A+ source.
Kaya’s pretty good at explaining, probably because she doesn’t have a complex vocabulary. So where on the twins do you have to click to confirm you’ve read and understood the terms and conditions? Luckily, this is a short disclaimer. Hopefully, the outcome of this Kaya event isn’t explosive or results in anything burning.

Now imagine the train is moving at 99% the speed of light…
Every person that has to commute by train: “Ha! If only!”
Considering the acceleration involved, not speaking about the air around the train, I’m sure people wouldn’t actually like trains moving with relativistic speeds.
But yeah wanted to use the same joke.
*Was supposed to travel from 1 spot in Perth, Western Australia, to another in the same city…*
*Train somehow gets up to 99% the speed of light for a fraction of a second then stops without splattering or even atomizing us passengers…*
*We find ourselves in Hybrid City, on almost literally the other side of the world…*
Ah heck, I am going to be SO late for work…
But due to the difference of speed of the reference frames, you will have only experienced a few milliseconds in the 67 seconds needed to travel around the Earth to Hybrid City. Of course, the time at work progressed 67 seconds, so you will be even later to get back home.
Yeah, Kia and Kaya have a completely different kind of Twins Paradox.
Your math is off by a factor 1000. That train would make it to the opposite side of the Earth in 67 milliseconds, as measured by an outside observer. The passengers would experience only a tiny fraction of that.
Of course, at that speed nothing but a black hole could prevent the train from flying off into space, and after 67 seconds it would be halfway to the orbit of Venus.
*Realizes I’m going to be even later still…*
*Facepalm*
…………..Hey, it’s me. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be late. If I’m not dead. ……Oh, I don’t think you’ll believe me….. Fine, did you know Venus looks nice this time of year. Especially from high orbit….. How? Well, the Train Driver tried getting us back from Hybrid City, but it seems it didn’t go to plan…
Panel 2: Change the period at the end of “print” to a colon.
Panel 4: Add a comma to “okay”.
Jesse’s Adventure, paragraph 1:Ditto the latter for “Hey”.
Paragraph 2: Also “break”.
Paragraph 5: And “pages”.
How does one get to Jesse’s Adventure??
There’s an obvious link on the right of the page. Are you not seeing that?
Thank you for that!!! I have literally never seen it before XD … probably because I’m always reading on mobile and always zoom in so the comic fills the screen, i had no idea about that stuff on the side XD
As I understand it, you’re supposed to vote for Twin Dragons on Top Web Comics, and then you get to read Jesse’s Adventure as a reward. Myself, I do not sell votes, not even for something as unimportant as comics, but there’s a freely available archive here.
1 – Maybe
2 – No
.
1 – Not necessary. They are two complete sentences and do not -have to- be combined.
2 – No
Alternatively, imagine the wind is moving with the train, same direction and speed.
Ah yes, relativity, it’s a hard subject to grasp, more so if you try to read the entirety of Eisenstein’s theory!
Like the question that was put to my class, “If you were on a spaceship moving at the speed of light, and you
throw a ball in the same direction the ship is going, would the ball be moving faster than light?” Most people
get it wrong. Common sense says yes, Eisenstein says no.
You are inside a box, in front of a large picture window. No wind.
Both the comic and the vote incentive are good this week!
Is that…unusual? 😉 🙂
We haven’t had any vote incentive change for several months; nice to see it going again.
Love how expressive Misha is. 🙂 All her facial expressions, particularly in panels 1 and 5. Panel 5 is my favorite today, partly for her facial expression, but especially her body language.
Mischa: “Okay, but where do I find a spherical frictionless cow?”
