In this groundbreaking study, we delve into the world of trash cans and the curious behavior of raccoons within it through the lens of quantum mechanics. Our initial hypothesis, based on observation of countless overturned trash cans, was that raccoons exist in a state of superposition: both inside and outside of the trash can simultaneously until an observer intervenes to collapse their wave function. We conducted extensive trash can experiments to test our theory, carefully documenting the position and momentum of each raccoon in order to construct probability distributions. Our results proved inconclusive, but we did observe that raccoons are surprisingly adept at manipulating lids and locks, leading us to conclude that their intelligence may transcend the boundaries of classical physics. Overall, our study highlights the complex and humorous relationship between raccoons, trash cans, and the mind-bending nature of quantum mechanics.
