unity

A bald, bearded older man wearing glasses and holding chalk sits at a table and declares: "There is only one force in the universe, and it is called the gravito-electro-magneto weak-but-also-strong force." A caption beneath reads: "The best part of a unified field theory will be the naming." The joke is that unifying all four fundamental forces of physics would saddle the result with an absurdly clunky combined name. The votey (a rough hand-drawn afterthought panel) adds the line "Rope tension, however, remains a mystery," above a crude sketch of dangling roped legs, joking that even a grand unified theory still wouldn't explain everyday rope tension.
