Schrodinger, no not the kid with the piano.
I realize that I haven’t posted anything for a while and I think I know why. An even happened at work where a customer of mine received his order, opened it and was surprised to find exactly what he ordered, if by “exactly what he ordered” you mean “not at all what he ordered.”
This immediately made me think of the beginnings of a fantastically funny, entertaining, witty, and various other adjectives, post for everyone to enjoy. The only problem is that it hinged on a concept directly out of Quantum Mechanics generally known as Schrodinger’s Cat. So I’ve been sitting here trying to figure some way of illustrating how the Schrodigner’s Cat thought-experiment is beautifully illustrated by the fact that the box my customer opened could, quantum mechanically, have actually had what he ordered inside the box… maybe not have what it is, but in all reality until he opened the box it had both.
Its much harder than it might seem to write entertaining anecdotes based on quantum mechanics.
In fact, this post, quantum mechanically, was both this post and what I originally wanted to post… but only actualized as this post when you opened the page.
Cue the rim shot.
So anyway, with that horrible bit of writing having been plungered out of the toilet of my creative writing bathroom, maybe the amusement shall commence.
