Damn, girl. Must of hit something truly dense, like a brick wall, or some form of antimatter.

^ Quantum physics lesson: At high enough pressure, electrons are forcibly separated from atomic nuclei (electron degenerate matter); this occurs in white dwarfs. Next threshold, electrons are forced to combine with protons (neutron degenerate matter); this occurs in neutron stars. Theoretically, past even that is quark matter, where neutrons break down and shit gets really weird; the basic level is "strange matter", and assuming it even exists, next would be "charm matter".
Side note, why do only two of six quark types have silly names?
Anyways, next time you see a character you want to call "black hole" dense, remember there's an actual tier list for density beyond conventional physics. You've got options.

^ Because originally, four of them did: top and bottom quarks were called truth and beauty quarks until 1974, when (due to the term "aces" falling out of use for "quarks"), shippers were finally comfortable with assigning bedroom roles to the particles. And after "xallarap" and "yrneh", we should be glad the physicists came up with something pronounceable for once.
Also, was that expression around before Fatal Twelve? I wonder if it helped popularize it.

I came into this comment section expecting to see people venting about their lesbian situationships but I got quantum physics. the internet is a beautiful place.

Why would physics name things "parallax" and "henry" but written backwards?

1 yrneh = 1/henry , i also heard something similar about 1 mho = 1/ohm (= 1 siemens)

not sure about the parallax thing though but here's the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xallarap

I think the issue is that the kind of person who decides to study quantum physics is probably already deeply eccentric

Was gonna say quantum physics themed lesbian dramas are an untapped goldmine.
Then I remembered Qualia the Purple exists.
