Move along there please

The World, the Universe & Everything

Is ambiguous

See a wine glass or 2 Edwardian hatted ladies in profile silhouette. You can’t see both at once

Measure a particle’s position or its momentum

Resolve a logical confusion

You can’t

You have to find a new way of looking at the problem

Or find a new place to stand

Your problem will just disappear, because you cannot see it from here

It is still there

But hey! We have lots of interesting new things to see, new questions to ask, new problems to solve

Things to do. Things worth doing

Sometimes it really is better to forget the old problem because there is no such thing as closure

Move on
