I’ve never seen the actual photograph that the Nickelback guy holds in the video.  Never ever.  It will be always a mystery to me now.  It is every photo now.  It doesn’t matter anymore, not like it ever did.

It is simultaneously every photo and no photo at once. This interesting concept is known to physicists as Kroeger’s Photograph. Until the photograph is observed, the state of the photograph is uncertain. Chad Robert Turton-Kroeger, 31, being a budding doctorate in the field of quantum mechanics shares his insight in his 2005 thesis simply titled Photograph. He goes on to explain his thesis by proposing a question (”Look at this photograph”), making the bold statement that “every time I [Dr. Kroeger] do it makes me laugh”. In his opening thesis, he holds the same photograph directly forward to the observer.

Until the photograph is observed, we are unable to ascertain on “how did our [potentially Dr. Kroeger and his assistants] eyes get so red,” and it simply would not be clear on what the hell was on Professor Joey’s head.

The thesis, written after Dr. Kroeger had dropped out from his local university in Alberta, Canada. He has received numerous accolades and an Honorary Doctorate for his powerful advances in the study of quantum mechanics. This is a point of topic in his thesis “I wonder if it’s too late, Should I go back and try to graduate? Life’s better now than it was back then, If I was them I wouldn’t let me in.”

In conclusion, it is functionally impossible to determine the contents of the photograph in question until it is observed. We are able to speculate and postulate hundreds of thousands of different possibilities of what would cause Dr. Kroeger to laugh, but upon observing the true state of the photograph, all possibilities are condensed into a single outcome. There is no “true state” of the photograph, as there is no “true state” of a flipped coin, ergo, every depiction and postulate of Dr. Kroeger’s Photograph is considered valid and equal.

Dr. Kroeger went on to write numerous other theses on the concepts of Human Sexuality (The Dark Horse, 2008), Gravity (Savin’ Me, 2006), Mortality (If Today Was Your Last Day, 2008), Fame and Psychology (Rockstar, 2006), and of course, Evolution (Animals, 2005).
