Ladies and gentlemen, live or perhaps not live, from Iran, it's Schrodinger's Ayatola.

Hey, everybody. I'm Steve Green with Bill Whittle and Scott Ott. This is Rightangle, brought you by the members of Bill Whittle.com.

And gentlemen, we've got to get a little deep into the weeds here, but bear with me.

So Schrodinger was one of those Austrian physicists, and he is the guy who suggested putting a cat in a sealed box with a single atom of a radioactive element, along with a Geiger counter, rigged to a hammer and a vial of cyanide gas, and not just because he was, you know, looking for something to do.

This was a quantum physics thought experiment about the state of a particle not being determined

until it's observed. And so when the radioactive atom decays, it sets off the geiger counter that

releases the hammer that smashes the vial of the poison gas killing the cap. But since we can't

see any of that until the box is open, The atom exists in a state of superposition that has

neither decayed nor not decayed, and then the cat is both alive and dead at the same time,

or maybe it's the other way around. Yeah, and we don't know until we open the box,

which brings us, believe it or not, the present day Iran, where the new Supreme Leader,

Nepobaby Ayatola Mostaba Kameney, exists in not one but two, two indeterminate states of superposition.

And I hope you're taking notes, or we'll be a quiz at the end of today's segment.

Anyway, Bill, as you might know, Iran's 88 member assembly of experts managed to name Mojtaba as

Ali's successor.

That was his dad, as the third leader of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran,

except that they probably didn't actually have the choice.

Word is, the Revolutionary Guard wanted Khomeinieney the younger because he's a hardliner,

not really much of a cleric, and under their thumb.

So the assembly didn't really pick him, and he isn't really the supreme leader, unless he is.

I don't even know.

What does it say about Iran's political position is what I'm trying to ask?
