On the 31st of October 2023, 4pm local time in Waterloo, an unusually large quantum fluctuation caused a tear in the spatio-temporal continuum on campus, close to J.R. Coutts Engineering Lecture Hall.
Several members of our community were affected by this unusual phenomenon: Some students and professors stopped concentrating on their lectures and were spotted playing peculiar games together, while standing in circles. Eyewitnesses also reported that they were joined by a number of wizards and witches, and by obscure creatures such as Schrödinger’s cat and a werewolf, distracting students from their studies.
Furthermore, a large number of physics students developed a sudden and inexplicable urge to create pumpkin art. Helped by visitors from other realities, the realms of physics and boundless art merged and resulted in students creating physics-inspired Jack-o’-lanterns.
Video footage shows that a group of two students and two professors entered a dream-like state in which they saw themselves as “judges”. According to reports, these individuals worried extensively about the difficult task they saw themselves confronted with, and proceeded to name winners for the best appearance and pumpkin art.
An ensuing ceremony celebrated a couple, that has been described as a manifestation of ”Barbenheimer” for best appearance 2023, and crowned a (arguably impressive) pumpkin with “theta”-eyes as winner.
The whole group affected by the anomaly were sighted to consume large amounts of pizza in the evening.
Luckily, astute observers were quick to call a quantum mechanic. With their professional help, the quantum leak could be fixed by midnight, and order could be restored on campus.
Stay tuned for more fun and games throughout the year!
