'Physics for Cats' is my next collection of science cartoons. It'll be out in the autumn. More details and an excerpt are here: www.drawnandquarterly.com/books/physics-for-cats/
NGC 2244, Cosmic Rose
A Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, or BZ reaction, is one of a class of reactions that serve as a classical example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, resulting in the establishment of a nonlinear chemical oscillator.
Fermions are weird about each other in a standoffish way. Integer-spin particles are weird about each other in a 'stand uncomfortably close while talking' kind of way.
Exclusion Principle [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Inside the panel, there is an underlined header and a numbered list, with the fifth and last item in red:] Fundamental Forces 1. Gravity 2. Electromagnetism 3. The Weak Interaction 4. The Strong Interaction 5. Electrons are weird about each other
[Caption below the panel:] Big news: Physicists have finally given up trying to explain about the "exchange interaction" and agreed to just make the exclusion principle a force.
