Quantum Life: A Physical State

rayasoProfessor Kransky's quantum state was, unfortunately, death.
While it was unusual for such a tiny amount of radiation to kill anyone, it was not impossible. Paul Kransky left behind no family or friends, but his death had a profound effect on Stephanie Carson.
"I don't have to work for that idiot anymore!" She was ashamed that this was her first thought after Kransky's death was confirmed, but only a little. Dr. Carson was brilliant, with a creative and curious mind, but she had been forced to work with Kransky as a condition of her grant.
Despite the coroner's ruling that Kransky's death was a freak accident, Dr. Carson wanted to find out if there were any contributing factors from his experiment.
Her research took several years as she extended the limits of quantum physics. Many published articles later, Dr. Carson determined that when Professor Kransky made himself part of Schroedinger's paradox, he put himself at the mercy of quantum physics and he allowed his fate to be determined by his students, who had voted him to death. This later became known as the Carson Effect in her honor and cemented her position as one of the giants of theoretical physics.
