Wed, 09 Jun 2010 02:35:28 +0000 http://www.thebookofbiff.com/2006/03/31/school/#comment-89502 Physics: Gravity being a conservative force it is not dependant on rout and as a result you cannot go uphill both ways. However some forces like friction are nonconservative and are dependant on the rout, in these cases it can be possible to have force required in both directions. In the Biffverse (the universe which Biff inhabits) gravity is not fully conservitive (but close to it) meaning that what would be flat ground in our universe would be uphill both ways in his. If it was flat in one direction in his universe it would be uphill twice as steep in the other direction. The main consequence of this is that there would need to be another energy source to hold his planet from the star. A solution to this issue would be to have gravity only be nonconservative over short distances meaning all of astrophysics would be left intact. In the end your parents never walked uphill both ways to school, but in the Biffverse (where all physics is normal except where required for the joke) it could happen Physics:

Does this mean there is another Biff on the opposite side of his house, and the two switch places? There are two figures in this comic.

Glass half empty, or half full? XD Same with the Earth that doesn't contain Biff...We could always be going up, or always be going down.
