President Trump to win Nobel Prize in Science
Vijborg, Sweden. Leaks from the Nobel Prize committee meeting here in Vijborg confirm that president Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Science, for his discovery of the quantum mechanics of facts, and is all but certain to win. “None of the other nominees even come close” said the official unidentified source. “This discovery is a fundamental extension of quantum mechanics” explained the official. “Facts, just like any other quantum phenomena, obey the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, existing as an assortment of possibilities that don’t become real until someone notices them, and the act of noticing them changes them for each individual. It’s so obvious in retrospect, the hallmark of true genius”.
The theory has immediate applications to everyday life. For example, Schroedinger’s Fact can get from one place to another without ever existing between them, because of the “fact/hot air duality”, where something is a fact when noticed by someone, but is hot air when it travels. Facts also participate in quantum entanglement, where noticing a fact creates it’s anti-fact, with the two forever connected no matter how far apart they become, because of the conservation of nothingness. “It’s just like spin, a closely related concept in physics” the official noted, “all facts have spin, so they are subject to this entanglement”.
Perhaps most importantly, facts are subject to “quantum jumping”, where they can suddenly disappear from our universe and show up in a parallel universe, where they can be noticed by the inhabitants of the alternate universe, and vice versa. “Just that explains an awful lot” the official remarked.
When notified of his impending win, president Trump said he was not surprised. “It’s about time a president of the United States got a Nobel Prize, and I guess I should be honored to be the first” the president said. “I discovered this a long time ago, and it’s taken this long for the biased scientific elites to grudgingly give me the credit I deserve” said the president. “This is perfect example of my lifelong struggle. I’m going to make that committee move to America, and only give their prizes to Americans” he continued, “and I’m going to make them pay for it too! You know, the fact is, the truth is a mess, and I’m the only one who can fix it”.
