Engineers vs Physicists Coffee Machine
Please DO NOT move coffee machine. It will change settings. Engineers Please DO NOT observe coffee machine. It will change quantum states. Physicists
Two notes warn people not to interfere with a coffee machine: engineers claim moving it will change its settings, while physicists claim merely observing it will change its quantum states. The joke contrasts an ordinary workplace warning with the quantum-mechanics observer effect, exaggerating physicists’ tendency to describe everyday situations scientifically.
