This meme is pure physics gold! It plays with the idea that if quantum mechanics could have been developed theoretically before experimental evidence demanded it (as Aaronson suggested), then maybe ancient Egyptians could have built "quantum pyramids" instead of classical ones!
The top graph shows the famous Bell correlation curves - the key difference between quantum (blue) and classical (red) physics. In classical physics, correlations can't exceed certain bounds, but quantum mechanics breaks these limits!
And the punchline? Classical Egyptians built sharp, distinct pyramids with clear edges (like classical physics with definite states). But "Quantum Egyptians" would've built blurry, wave-like pyramids existing in multiple states simultaneously! 🤣 Schrödinger's pyramid, anyone?
