physics breakthrough

last night at the gym i made an astonishing breakthrough in the field of quantum physics. i expect a call from the nobel committee at any moment.

many people are familiar with the paradox of schroedinger's cat. in this famous though experiment, a cat is put inside a box with a radioactive poison pellet. after the pellet has decayed, the mathematics prove conclusively that the cat is both alive and dead until such time as the lid of the box is removed and the cat is observed.

this is confusing, counterintuitive, and hard to explain. the solution, and my breakthrough, is the more mundane and familiar experience of schroedinger's dump. this describes the situation where one clips a mighty yam, closes the toilet seat, and flushes. until such time as the toilet lid is lifted, the grogan exists in both the flushed and unflushed states.

in this way, using metaphors that are easily understandable to people who do not own cats, boxes, or radioactive poison pellets, quantum physics can be easily explained.
