This is making me realize how much of real life operates with what people would consider troll physics were it not observably true. Black holes come to mind. Also shooting bullets underwater.

Einstein: My theory predicts that there could be a hole in reality that we could never observe from the outside, but that's ridiculous. It can't exist.

Oppenheimer: I guess these holes could form in our universe when a heavy star runs out of fuel, but I doubt this means anything real.

Wheeler: Wait a sec...

I'm curious now, what did Wheeler find/discover/realize?

He named them black holes and pushed for research into them. He also didn't believe they could exist at first.

Have you looked at Quantum Mechanics?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 65 points 4 months ago

I tried, but I altered its state by observing it.

Perfect answer

What happens when you shoot a bullet under water?

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago

For most weapons they shoot at a normal speed then stop after like 3 feet

It doesn't travel nearly as far as you would normally expect. Some guns are useless to hit underwater targets.
