Need help finding comic about refuting belief in gravity etc.

[QuantumCosmo]

Hi,

I once read a physics comic that went something like this:

two people, one was floating in the air and told the other "I have refuted my belief in gravity"

... I think he then proceeds to refute several other things and they all vanish/dont work for him anymore...

(I think there was a part where he jumped into a volcano und didnt get burned because he knew thermodynamics)

and in the end, the other guy asks him "what happens if you refute your belief in god" "nothing"

I don't remember where I read that comic, but I really liked it and was planning to pin it up on our office door, so it would be really nice if someone knows it and can post a link.

Thank you!

Maybe something to do with the theory of Intelligent Falling?

I remember the comic, and it was unrelated to that.
I just don't know where I saw it :(. xkcd was my first guess, but a my search there was not successful.

Hello,

I understand your interest in finding this comic, as it seems to have made an impact on your views about the concept of belief and its relation to scientific principles like gravity. While I am not familiar with this specific comic, I would like to offer some thoughts on the subject.

Firstly, it is important to note that belief in something does not necessarily equate to its existence or truth. Gravity, for example, is a well-established scientific concept with evidence to support its existence. Refuting one's belief in it does not change the fact that it exists and affects our everyday lives.

Furthermore, scientific principles are not simply beliefs, but rather they are based on rigorous testing, experimentation, and evidence. They are constantly being refined and updated as new information is discovered. Therefore, it is not a matter of belief, but rather understanding and accepting the current scientific understanding.

As for the idea of refuting beliefs in other things, it is important to approach these topics with an open mind and a critical eye. While it is healthy to question and challenge beliefs, it is also important to do so in a rational and evidence-based manner.

Thank you for bringing up this interesting topic and I hope you are able to find the comic you are looking for. Keep questioning and seeking knowledge!
