I never got that joke...

This was my favorite joke from futurama
admborg
No, they *created* the outcome by measuring it.
lukemwp
It was a good joke when I was a kid, and an even better joke now that I fully understand it! Haha
tmadiso1
Oh haha thank you. I never got the full joke before. I wasn't thinking about quantum physics
sneakyk006
Has anyone else noticed that #3 was called the winner, even though its horsed #4 and #5 shown to be neck-and-neck at the finish line?
BenClarin
I always thought this was uncertainty principle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle
ZEffective
Well, the uncertainty principle on a macroscopic still exists but the effect is completely inconsequential :/ ex 1-10 in P Chem by McQuarrie

Futurama, if you want the humor of an adult cartoon with all the feelings a wit to go with it.

Always upvote Futurama

Its like climate change
AMartianPotato
Futurama had some damn smart jokes.

Stop canceling it

The horses say 4 and 5, am I missing something?
sysadm1n
Seen this episode upwards of a hundred times and never noticed that before....
RigoryMorty
Now with more pixels!
sysadm1n
But upon further inspection, it does say 3. Picture is just a bit blurry.

@ethrax showed me your ways, thanks guys
UltimateBooty
Ok I thought I understood this but now I'm not sure..
FreyaNicci
In quantum mechanics if you observe something it can collapse the wave function to produce a single observation.
TheDejectedEntourage
Problem is, not only is that not 'changing' the outcome, that is the explanation given only by the Copenhagen interpretation
NWeasley21
This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc (found on imgur) helped me understand the observer effect

thanks!
UltimateBooty
found me a new binge-able channel, thx m8

wait no, there are 2 videos

*jokes?
JupiterJedi
Hahaha! I don't get any of these.
boyanthebard
It's all one joke. Like a comic strip.
VeryLongTimeLurker
one reason why i loved Futurama
AdmiralSassbar
10 sin 20 goto hell
Mcknizzle
Yeah but it seemed to get dumber as time went on. Less scifi/science based and more unnecessarily silly. I don't get it :(
ImNotAlwaysAnAsshole
Often times the longer something goes on the more like it is to become parody of itself. Take everything over 4-5 seasons for example.
WhatzitTooya
Their budged got cut after the first four seasons, respectively after their first reincarnation.
MyLastUsernameWasSoLongIKeptForgettingIt
The complete change in production staff didn't help in that regard as well
Mcknizzle
That makes sense

Yup, I'm not happy about it either
ForeverVoteless
Ha ha! It's funny because it's complicated!
PiGiSpi
Isn't that why people think inception is a good movie?
CatBlaster5000
I won't argue that that is exactly why I find it amusing.
mustang2733
I don't get it
Poopywaterengineer
In quantum mechanics you can change the quality of what is being measured by measuring it
tygerpsimatrix
Something about how simply observing an object can change its status in relation to the universe
skitchmusic
It's like trying to measure where a ball is on a pool table by having to touch it with a pool cue. Touching modifies where the ball is.
LankyRuffian
In quantum physics atoms seem to exhibit different behavior when being observed versus when not. Search the double slit experiment.

Sombike
I don't think You do tho ...
TheSideQuestsOfZelda
Should be noted in quantum physics its not literally the act of observing. The tools used to observe impact the atoms.
skitchmusic
Effectively, in order to measure/observe, you have to 'touch' the particles, which in turn modifies aspects about it that you can't measure.
IHateCarpets
I thought that in Quantum physics the particles may have in two different places
AncientSeraph
One does not exclude the other. The former is not part of the joke, though.
jazzybear
The double slit experiment demonstrates wave-particle duality. Specificially, electrons diffract to form an interference pattern.
