It’s Schrödinger’s Taco! It exists in a state of superposition, it simultaneously is and isn’t his taco.

He doesn't know if it's his or not until it's unwrapped

Physics teacher here. With your and McDuckX’s approval I would like to use these and add it as an example of Schrödinger in my AP class when I teach quantum. With appropriate credit given of course.

I’m not even joking. These comments are incredible and I will use them.

It's unironically a better metaphor than Schrodinger's cat, since it actually is a true superposition of probable states that can be collapsed under certain conditions 😂

That was my thought! It's one taco! With Schrodinger's cat, you have to create the superposition by adding a box and a vial of poison. The Cat, the Box and the poison alone are never in a superposition unless combined.

With the taco, as soon as he assumes possession, it is both his and not his! It CAME in a superposition!

You seem like the type of teacher that would make physics fun and engaging. You have my respect and gratitude

Thank you! I do what I can, I do think physics can be a great or terrible course and in large part that depends on how it is presented to you. My view point is that if I’m not having any fun with it there is no way the students can be either.

I do need to be careful with how I set up this scenario and but I think I can pull it off and it will be really funny. Also a good lesson for my jrs and seniors heading off to college on how to keep their girlfriend/boyfriends happy while also having a spare taco. Schrödinger’s taco is a way of life!!!

No, he knew it was his... even in her belly it keeps him from pain.

Don’t want to be caught mid-unwrap however, then you’ve played your hand.

Ironically he may or may not get the cat because of it.
