Christmas Plans

by Jeff

Image text: Physicists who want to protect traditional Christmas realize that the only way to keep from changing Christmas is not to observe it.

This comic is a pun on the word "observe".

In regards to Christmas, the phrase is "I don't observe Christmas".  In regards to physics, just like in the Schrodinger Cat problem, the physicists don't know where the cat is in the box (or whether it is alive or dead) until they observe it.

In the comic, the character at the computer does not know where Christmas is because he doesn't observe it in the physicist way.
