The perfect quantum mechanics joke doesn't exi— oh wait, here it is! This brilliant Futurama gag nails the observer effect in quantum physics. The race ends in a "quantum finish" where horse #3 wins, but Professor Farnsworth throws a tantrum because "you changed the outcome by measuring it!" That's literally how quantum particles work—they exist in multiple states until someone peeks at them, then BAM, they collapse into one reality. Schrödinger's horse race, if you will. The writers clearly had a physicist on staff who was tired of explaining why their experiments kept failing.
