Theoretical Physics Jokes, pt. 1?
I have no idea why, but the thought of this particular situation amused me:
Person B: "Alright, lets see...yeah, I've got a quarter here. Are you ready?"
Person A: "Yeah, go"
***Person B flips the quarter
Person B: "Collapse the wave function."
Person A: O_o wtf?
And that is exactly how the situation would go. Rather, that is exactly how it WILL go, since I will now tell people to "collapse the wave function" instead of "heads or tails?".
Theoretical Physics: spicing up the mundane since 300BC.

Oh come on guys, you can't tell me that's not at least a LITTLE bit funny! Some people have no appreciation for the higher sciences.

That's not the way it works, you need to pick heads or tails BEFORE you collapse the wave function.

Argh, Jonas, you're right! You only collapse the wave function when you observe it...well, I still think it'd make for a more humorous coin flip, if only because most people I'd use that with wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about :P
