GUIDO BACCIAGLUPPI. Why should I want to spoil the fun? ČASLAV BRUKNER.

I would rather like to ask her or him whether death is really worse than the chicken at Tresky’s restaurant (see Woody Allen’s Love and Death).
What single question about the foundations of quantum mechanics would you put to an omniscient being?
