Fun fact: Schrodinger's cat was originally posited as a sarcastic example for why observational theory is dumb, but then it turns out that no, quantum particles do in fact do exactly that thing.

The Science of Bioshock - Schrodinger's Coin & Quantum Physics - Extra Credits

Bioshock Infinite takes us through Columbia where things aren't exactly right... And then we find Elizabeth who can tear rifts in reality. Booker, catch! But... how stable is this plot on real world physics? Strangely, Bioshock Infinite gets a lot right on the underlying quantum mechanics of the world. And it gets one very important thing wrong.

Haven't watched it yet - working - but perhaps it should say that "quantum particles do in fact do *appear to* do exactly that thing. " There's still other mainstream interpretations.

"where did that extra stuff come from" is a common misunderstanding. It was always there. You just discover which reality you are in, not switch to one.
