# I was just in the pub with a quantum physics student
and this occurred to me.



Sorry.

# I'm going to go with not.
Nice though :)

# NO
they're doing both at the same time :D

# But if you observe them doing it
it changes the velocity at which they do it!

# Not quite
The act of observation collapses the duality of the sexy wavefront into a knobbing or not knobbing reality. Until this happens, the quantum physicist is both shagging and not shagging, at the same time, at least from the point of view of everybody else.

I had no idea scientists were so rude.

But not impossible....

# See, now
I bet that's really funny. I don't get it.

Or maybe I do. Depends who's observing me reading the joke.

# does this depend if they're in a box with a dead cat?
or a NOT DEAD cat? Hmmmm....

# OR
Perhaps quantum physicists do it with boxed cats whether they are alive or dead, but if you look at them, they stop moving.
