Attention! Very important science: Tapping a can of fizzy beer does... absolutely nothing

Beer is quantum in nature. It's not actually there or not there at all until you open it. Or rather it is both. Until you open it and collapse the probability wave (with or without tapping).

Proof of beer's probabilistic nature:

If you open a beer, you may find that you have some, yet if you check it and check it and check it again, sooner or later you will discover that the bottle-or-can is empty!

In the olden days this was regarded as witchcraft. But we are modern and know better now. It's quantum!
