Quantum Coffee

Title:  Quantum Coffee
Pairing/Warning/Rating:
none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Jack and Tosh discuss the act of making coffee
Author's Note: Sequel to Schrödinger's Coffee.  Learn about the observer effect here.  Thanks to [profile] smithy161 and [personal profile] phoenix64 for fixing the quantum nature of Jack's problem.


“Tosh, do you know if Ianto’s done making the coffee yet?”

“Why don’t you go and see for yourself, Jack?”

“No, I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“He might make it differently if I was there.”

“Why would he do that?”

“I don’t know if he would, but my being there might affect his coffee-making ability.   And I won’t take that chance.”

“So, we’re talking quantum theory again. The Observer Effect of coffee making; the mere act of observing alters the reality being observed.”

“When the act is Ianto making coffee, I certainly don’t want to risk him altering it!”

If only more lessons could be learned this way...
