| My father used to say "Life is like a box of chocolates. Also in the box is a small amount of radioactive material. Attached to the material, via a geiger counter, is a device." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| "Say, within an hour, that there is an equal probability that one of the radioactive atoms will decay or not. If an atom decays, the device will spray ketchup over the chocolates and ruin them." | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| I should have worn my hip waders. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| "If we left the box and its contents for an hour, we could say that the psi-function of the entire system would contain both ketchup-covered and non-ketchup-covered chocolates in equal amounts." | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| So you should open the chocolates as soon as you get home? Is that what you're saying? | |
