Schrödinger's Volcano

A new take on the famous thought experiment, Schrödinger's cat, that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. Inbrought by the undisputed masterpiece "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!" , & its confusion inbrought by Natsuki's lyrics describing the Aso Kujū National Park volcano situation. Natsuki mentioned that there is too much volcano & that there is no volcano? Many theorize that the answer is that it's "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!" given that the song is titled "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!".

Neglected gas stoves left on with candles abutting are like Schrödinger's Volcano: until you check in, they exist as both exploded & non-exploded .
