Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER SCHRODINGER!?

I can tell you where she is or how fast she is going, if either of those two data points are helpful.

I can't tell you yet. And even if I did, that would just mean you'd become a part of the superposition.

I skimmed a bit of the article but my mental processes aren't feeling flexible enough for quantum nonsense this morning... Are they saying it's possible to make an observation window into the box of Schrodinger's cat that allows for observation from an arbitrary distance without speed of light delay?

Is this the quantum eraser experiment? The biggest mindfuck in physics?

Tell me more!

I wouldn't be able to do it justice, just look up quantum eraser experiment on you tube. Essentially a particle can be observed from the future. You can collapse a wave function in the past.

That sounds like nonsense. I'll have to look it up!

They're not wearing the eye protection.
