Apologies if this is old stuff for you:

The mystery of Santa's sleigh has been solved. Santa is a quantum phenomenon, meaning that he is in everyone's house at once. BUT if anyone observes him, then the probability function collapses and only one house gets toys.

So have a Merry Christmas, and don't look.




When you observe Santa, you get entangled with that Santa, and others get gifts in the rest of the multiverse. So don't worry, and have a Merry Everettian Christmas!


When playing with my kid's LEGO I witness self locating uncertainty: Am I the child or am I the grown up?


Literally the plot of Elf :)
