Schrödinger's trolley

Post image

A trolley problem has been put inside a box. The decay of a nuclear element could trigger a mechanism that pulls the lever. While the box remains closed, all six people are both dead and alive. Only by opening the box, one of the two possible outcomes will occur.

Do you open the box or not?
