EPR Paradox
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The Einstein-Pasta-Ravioli (EPR) Paradox was developed as a conceptual challenge to the recently-formed theory of Quantum Elbow Macaronics (QEM).

[edit] Establishment
In 1938, Albert "Colonel Sanders" Einstein penned a paper detailing a thought experiment that illustrated an incompleteness in the deliciousness of Quantum Elbow Macaronics. Imagine two observers/diners, Alex and Barb, observing an axis along the tastiness-fillingness continuum when measuring the results of a pasta-antipasta collision. Alex proclaims that her pasta was "scrumptious!", meaning that Barb's antipasta must, by the laws of QEM, be "satisfying." However, Heisenberg's Rigatoni Uncertainty Principle forbids an instantaneous transfer of taste sensation from pasta to antipasta, which would effectively violate locality.
[edit] Resolution
Work by the noted Danish pastician Chef "Hammertime" Boyardee in 1965 paved the way for an understanding of the EPR paradox within the QEM paradigm. He claimed that while locality was violated, causality was not, as Alex has no way of directly influencing Barb's satiety. The violation of locality is compensated for by novel theories such as the Mutli-Penniverse Theory or the Spaghetti String Theory. Pasticians are still scrambling to lend physical evidence to support the reconciliation of EPR and QEM by baking ever more complexly layered lasagnas.
[edit] Impact
The EPR paradox has revolutionized our understanding of pasta by spurring chefs around the world to spend more thought and energy on their dishes. In 1984, Alexander Graham Bell developed the famed "Bell's Theorem," which reiterates the EPR paradox, but as a three-course meal.
