If my sports team loses, I wonder if I watched it from home instead of where I was if the team would have won instead. I ask my friends if the game would have happened exactly like it did no matter where I watched it from and they look at me like I have lost mind.
So is superstition real or has the cat really been dead this whole time?

OW my head. i went to art school, so i figured it would be best to go with the comic explanation rather than the video. no help there either. but yay science anyway, even if a lot of it goes right by me.

The comic only seems to be a ‘clear’ explainer for someone already familiar with the concepts it describes, making it a pretty bad explainer.

Everything is constantly being observed and measured all the time. Two molecules in air bumping into eachother is an observation; light reflecting off a surface is a measurement.

But I’m not looking at the spoon now so maybe there isn’t one - but there WAS one.
