  • You are applying too much classical thinking.

    Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

    It is all possible states, at the same time.

    Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

    This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

    A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

    So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

    Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.

    The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.

    Also as others pointed out, we don’t work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more…so the natural protection isn’t building up like it did in the past.
