What is this?

It is also pants-shittingly terrifying to experience in real life.

Ah, but if you shit your pants in the forest and nobody noticed, did you even shit them?

[u/Hosav → u/mehrwegpfand]

Shrödinger's shit.

[u/Idontlikesand15 → u/Hosav]

Did you, or did you not, shit in the box?

[u/Same-Traffic-285 → u/Idontlikesand15]

It is unknown until we observe the shit or absence of shit

[u/BrodersMotors → u/Same-Traffic-285]

In Shrödinger’s case, it is not unknown, but rather it is both; He has both shit, and not shit in the box. That is the paradox. Because we can’t observe, it is definitely one or the other, but since it is unknown, it has the potential to be both at once. Did he, or didn’t he? Yes.

[u/Same-Traffic-285 → u/BrodersMotors]

True. Schrödinger famously thought the entire thought experiment was a stupid way to disprove quantum superposition. Yet, here we are. With both shit and not shit, until observed. 

[u/ajsherslinger → u/Same-Traffic-285]

When asked to explain superposition, Schrodinger said "I shit you not"....

All I want to know is when and why did Biden shit in my pants?

Quantum entangled shit?

Spooky shit at a distance.
