In the midst of the Roaring Twenties, physicists began to grasp the concept of quantum uncertainty, much to the chagrin of accountants.
Erwin Schrödinger invented the cat-astrophic thought experiment, which was later used to justify every poor life choice.
Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty became the ultimate excuse for not doing the dishes.
Hyperbole aside, the twenties were a wild time for science, and the world was about to get even weirder.
Quantum mechanics was all the rage in the fifties, but nobody told the accountants.
Physicists were too busy arguing with each other to do any actual science.
David Deutsch's multiverse theory was the talk of the town, or so he claimed.
It was a time of great scientific progress, and even greater confusion.
This is just an example, and you should adjust it according to the provided rules.
