This article is a Rewrite Team edit of the original Quantum Revolver, written by CFO and Blairin. Thanks to Lack of Lepers for the minor edit on the second image.
So I noticed on RPC-002-A and RPC-002-C Experiments it said the test subject was CSD-4867 on both, But I thought you said "CSD-4867's body cavity violently explodes." On RPC-002-A, how is he alive for experiment RPC-002-C? Just curious.
This is a delightful little piece to trudge through. If the text, especially in the test logs, had a little more space to breathe this would be that much more enjoyable but it’s a fun concept executed well enough to work.
Such is life in the Soviet Union
Considering that most people will read this article first, this can pretty much be seen as an “introductory anomaly”, and it succeeds at that goal. The tone is wonderfully pedantic and the idea of this RPC is explored extensively (although not as much in depth as I would have wanted). And the sudden failure of the final experiment is a great reminder of the uncertainty of anomalous objects. Overall, a standout article 4/5.
Interesting article, I like how you can either interpret the last result as a consequence of an unpredictable anomalous nature or make a connection with the double-slit experiment and the observer effect. Allows people who bear different knowledges to equally enjoy the article. 5/5
I think this article concentrates the the essential property of confic articles, it being that it still makes you think about its properties after you finish reading it. It perfectly explains what it is and what it does, gives interesting examples and most importantly ends with a bang. I finished it, and still kept thinking about its possible origins, uses and just generally appreciated its simple but high quality execution.
