On March 20th at 20.00, CERN's Science Gateway invites you to discover Les Dieux et le Père Noël : vers une solution quantique, a comedy show about quantum mechanics.

"Researchers who seek, we can find. Researchers who find things, we look for them! Do you think that's funny? Well, it's not! A researcher who has found something is first and foremost a researcher who no longer has a job. He's unemployed, of course, because he's found something! What's more, you have to see what you find... Do you think the guy who found the atomic bomb is happy? I'm not a ‘finder’, I'm a researcher!

Frankly, can we still open our minds without banging our heads against the obligation to achieve results?"

As a scientific-poetic troublemaker, comedian Luc Chareyron asks questions about supernatural vs rational thinking. What do we know? Who should we believe? He does so through his own interpretation of quantum mechanics, such as his explanation about how Santa can deliver over 300,000 tonnes of presents in one night! Can quantum superposition explain this incredible achievement?
