Sorry just saw somebody saying carlos is a bad scientist and i will not fucking have it, there are other people on this site that have said better than me that carlos was extremely capable in his own way. But here is what i think is the difference that sets apart him from lubell.
Night vale had always been a separate being torn apart from the rest of the universe, we have already established that in many of the previous episodes especially with huntokar’s explanations. Night vale has never confined itself to any of the existing scientific laws of the outside world because those scientific laws does not apply to it. Carlos didn’t understand it when he first arrived to night vale hence the clocks, but he learns to understand that the all the existing scientific explanations doesn’t apply to night vale and thats okay, it is a part of what night vale is. He accepts it for the way it is and continues his studies according to night vale’s own standards.
Now with Janet, when she first arrives to night vale she carries with her decades of knowledge she has built up from her career from THE OUTSIDE WORLD. And she is so confident with those knowledge she held she forcibly applies the outside scientific explanations onto night vale’s bizarre phenomenons. And by exerting the scientific explanations onto night vale for the first time the scientific laws of the outside world are applied to nightvale, thus losing its magic and mystique. In reality she didn’t even try to understand night vale the same way carlos does, by acknowledging it is different from the rest of the world and respectfully studies it according to night vale’s own scientific laws, instead, she forces an explanation that shouldn’t be applied to night vale to suit her own comprehension of the situation, taking away night vale’s uniqueness in the process.
This is just me rumbling because I’ve been thinking about this all day during work today and plz be patient with me if i made any grammatical or vocabulary errors or if you disagree, I’ve spoken english for a long time but it still isn’t my first language.

WTNV really said “there are some things you can destroy through observation.” They said “what’s the point of a world where everything is explained.” They said “what if someone comes in from the outside and pokes too hard at the ambiguities that day-to-day life depends on. what kind of damage can that cause to a community.”

The transition from grieving Sarah Sultan to an ad for Betterhelp is the funniest unintentional joke they've ever made

I don’t know what to say, Night Vale. I had been afraid of what Dr. Lubelle’s demand for explanation would do to a town so built upon mystery and shadow. And I am sad to have been so right.
I mourn my friend, Sarah Sultan, a fist sized river rock. She was... She was funny, and clever, and a good administrator at the Community College. And now she has been explained away, and she is nothing. She is inert. She will never share another joke, or answer one of my questions in a wry and knowing tone ever again.
The faculty of the Community College is walking mournfully back to their campus, where they will lay Sarah in her favorite river, and the water will shape her into smaller rocks, and then pebbles, and then sand, which will float down the current, formless and free, like smoke, like dreams.
Stay tuned next for grief, 
and then fear, 
and then... 
revenge.
Good night, Night Vale. Good night.
