Ez. I put myself into a box with the track lever and a bomb. The bomb is activated by an XOR gate with one input being 50% chance activated if the lever is pulled, and the other input is attached to an uncollaped wave function with a 50% chance of being measured or not.

This allows the lever, bomb, and myself to enter an undefined state beyond life and death, beyond position and momentum, to become the transitionary flow between something and nothing.

While nobody is watching, the box is equally likely to be inside the quantum trolley, and on the tracks, and on the side as an observer, at the same time.

All my separate possibility wavefunctions then may or may not pull the lever at the exact moment the quantum trolley hits a quantum eraser.

If performed correctly, the collective consciousness of the universe experiences what us humans would refer to as a aneurysm followed by violent seizures.

Finally, this neuroplastic wound bootstraps a emergency regenerative attempt to repair such devastating damage to the concept of causality.

A catastrophic explosion of tachyons froth at the epicenter of the incident. They act like antibodies fighting a virus, cascading into a a level-4∆ Retroactive Timeline Recalibration Event(RTRE-4∆)

Boom, The quantum trolley never even existed in the first place.

let me ask you, you either would be a "barely undergrad" or a "post doc" and nothing between, so who are you - (and no, a superposition of those 2 is not allowed)

In the fictional trolly Im definitely undergrad think its way funnier that way especially if the solution actually works out.

In reality im neither an undergrad nor a post doc nor anything in between. I just passionately enjoy understanding the behaviors of the universe and have extensively studied various topics including quantum field theory as well as theoretical particle physics in my free time for many years.

we need more people studying particle physics in free time
