Apropos to this comic strip, if quantum mechanics were theistic rather than humanistic in its referents, it would make perfect sense.As it is, paradoxes arise if one takes a man-centered POV on the subject. I can never remember the limerick that expressed one such paradox, alas, but I can remember clearly somebody’s answer to it (the paradox involving whether an object exists if no human is watching it):Dear Sir, Your astonishment’s odd;I am always about in the Quad;And that’s why this treeWill continue to be,Since observed by Yours Faithfully, GOD!
