I reckon Pinkie Pie has to be in that barrel. I saw her go in myself. But I just can't shake the feeling that if I go and open that lid, she won't be in there.
I dream of a man whose hopes never end.

a perfect regular day in ponyville with aj getting filosophical
just dont think about it. when pinkie pie is involved, just shut down your god damn brain and accept everything what will happen.
nice story ^^

I demand answers! Even if I know I won't get any.
I love paradoxes like Pinkie's barrel, Schrödinger's Cat, and The Axe from "John Dies At The End."

5643340 But Schrodinger's Cat isn't a paradox... It's an explanation of the real phenomena known as Quantum Super Position. This is why US high schools should be required to teach physics to all students
5643630 1) i agree, physics should be a high school requirement,
2) i tried to take physics in high school, but all the physics classes were full, so thy put me in marine biology with probably the only high school teacher in America who legitimately believes that coloring pictures is a valid way to teach 16 and 17 year olds about aquatic habitats. I actually read the entire marine biology textbook to actually learn something.
3) America needs a better education system in general
5643745 Totally. The system docent work at all. No American is taught anything useful or relevant. Hell 90% of history taught in those classes is so embellished as to be fraudulent. I only got a good education by literally reading the entire library available at my high school.

Add to that, it was also Erwin Schrodinger calling bullshit on macro interpretations of quantum superposition. While these days a lot of people use it as an example of quantum superposition, Schrodinger's original intention was to point out the absurdity of a cat both alive and dead based on observation.
While I don't understand (or do I understand that I don't understand? Is that understanding or lack of understanding?) I did enjoy it.
5643846 And yet, Superposition is a real thing, as absurd as it is. Its funny how the univerce at it's fundamental level says fuck you to the human idea of logic.

I kind of feel that describes quantum mechanics in a nutshell. I certainly don't get 99% of it.
5643138 welllll I cant give you any answers. pinkie pies actions are not bond to any physical boundaries XD so the best you can do is just accept it XD like twilight did hehe
Did you just finish playing Virtue's Last Reward or something? o.o
5643936 I understand maybe 20% of it, but that's because I am making a serious effort to and am a little nuts.
This is what happens when you try to understand Pinkie.
I wrote a review of this story; it can be found here.
Sadly, what Applejack didn't realize (likely since she didn't understand the deeper aspects behind Quantum Mechanics) is that observing Pinkie in the barrel (when she lowered into it) caused her wavefunction to collapse, meaning that she was no longer in a state of superposition. Sorry Pinkie, but not even Quantum Mechanics can get you out of this pickle.

Actually, that's not right. Well, the idea is right, but the name isn't. Schrodinger's cat, funnily enough, was not made by Schrodinger at all. In fact, it was Einstein who came up with the thought experiment to mock the more "out there" aspects behind Quantum Mechanics (such as the idea that something can both be in one state and a completely different state at the same time).
In fact, even Schrodinger was annoyed by some of the aspects. Example:
Actually, Hawking had something to say about the cat thing as well (it's also a pretty hilarious quote of his):
This could easily be a canon short or something. You perfectly captured all of the characters' personalities even from AJ's limited perspective; I love it.
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
This is just Pinkie being Pinkie, and as usual Pinkie is entertaining.
You can has review!
