Professor Farnsworth from Futurama is having a quantum mechanics meltdown! The joke brilliantly captures the bizarre reality of quantum physics, where the act of measurement literally changes the outcome of an experiment. In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) until observed - then they "collapse" into a single state. It's like complaining that looking at your cake made it decide whether to be chocolate or vanilla! This perfectly captures the frustration of trying to apply classical logic to quantum weirdness. Even Einstein struggled with this concept, famously asking if the moon exists when no one is looking at it. Science is wild!
