WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE.

ZENO OF ELEA: To prove it could never reach the other side.

ISAAC NEWTON:
1) Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to
cross the road.
2) It was pushed on the road.
3) It was pushed on the road by another chicken, which went away from
the road.
4) It was attracted to a chicken on the other side of the road.

WERNER HEISENBERG: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was
on, but it was moving very fast.

WOLFGANG PAULI: Because there already was a chicken on this side of
the road.


PS.
Q: Why did the tachyon cross the road?
A: Because it was on the other side.
