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?

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.
