Schrödinger's cat (from Wiki)



Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead, not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.

Whether Donald Trump keeps which of his contradictory promises is not up to the random decay of an atom; it will be up to President Trump himself.  It's easy for me to say spare the cat... we simply need to spare ourselves the danger of an analogous, i f less horrible plight.

Yes, the quantum principle that the act of observation changes what you observe, or brings it into reality instead of mere potential. So, I suppose, the real Donald Trump will come into being if we elect him, and whatever he does that we can observe would be real. We just have no idea what that will be now, and we never will from one moment to the next even after he's elected.
