Text reads "I think you've hit upon the main overarching change from the books, bigger than all other changes: The show has made an effort to make these characters into people with relatable problems, rather than a pack of ill-tempered, nuance-deaf ding-dongs who make bad choices and then have to dig themselves out."

Two nodes, a knight's move apart, are marked with red circles in the 3rd row 2nd column and the 2nd row 4th column.] Sign: On this infinite grid of ideal one-ohm resistors, Sign: what's the equivalent resistance between the two marked nodes? [The Cueball-like physicist has stopped pondering the questions, a hand to his chin.] Physicist: It's... Hmm. Interesting. Maybe if you start with... No, wait. Hmm... You could— [In another frameless panel, a ten-wheeled truck is zooming past from the right, apparently going through the spot where the physicist just stood.] Truck: Foooom [Cueball looks down on Black Hat, who looks back up from his chair at the curb, again holding the sign down.

Picture of document- Pennsylvania State Science Standards. 3.2.9-12.v physical science waves and electromagnetic radiation Students who demonstrate understanding can evaluate the claims, evidence and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations, one model is more useful than the other Clarifying statement: emphasis is on how the experimental evidence supports the claim and how a theory is generally modified. In light of new evidence, examples of a phenomenon could include resonance, interference, diffraction and photoelectric effect. Assessment boundary: assessment does not include using quantum theory
