For crying out loud, the wavefunction collapse has never been observed. 38.70.240.202 02:23, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

The term professor actually can also mean "a person who affirms a faith in or allegiance to something." which continues the religious aspect of having a soul. 147.161.213.89 02:30, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Actually, I am a god explaining their reality to my comrades, so only when we observe it does the wavefunction collapse. It will not collapse for mere characters in a false reality we created. --DollarStoreBa'alconverse 02:34, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

So many people misunderstand the Copenhagen interpretation. It is only the most basic theory that could be made based on all our experiments, which is why it says the wavefunction collapse when we measure it in an experiment. It doesnt mean it hasnt collapsed earlier, only that we know it has collapsed when we measure it.2A02:3103:4C:2400:84BF:B101:8E7D:F4C6 06:24, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

is it just me, or is this one similar to 660: Sympathy & 803: Airfoil? —Winter1760 (talk) 06:59, 28 August 2025 (UTC).

Yes there is the similarity with three option where the first two are identical but the very wrong has been canged to Chaotic in this comic. We could a mention of it at the bottom. I'll try to put it in. --Kynde (talk) 07:40, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

I think "Good", "Bad" and "Chaotic" are references to role playing games, probably Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, but perhaps others as well. Characters in such games have an "alignment", which indicates whether a character tends to do good, or tends to be destructive/evil, or can flip (chaotic). The word "alignment" also has meaning in the world of quantum physics. So this may be a deliberate conflation of worlds. I also like the double meaning of "professor" above in this context.
