PASADENA, CA — Caltech physicists confirmed Tuesday that Pedro Pascal has achieved quantum superposition, appearing in every show, movie, and grocery checkout simultaneously after reaching what researchers call “critical Pascal mass.” The finding began when grad student Jennifer Chen saw him in three Netflix series, two HBO dramas, a Marvel film, and behind her at Whole Foods at the exact same moment. “At first I thought it was great scheduling,” Chen said, adjusting instruments to measure his state. “But he was a gruff bounty hunter, a post-apocalyptic dad, a superhero, and asking about parking validation simultaneously.” Lead researcher Dr. Margaret Hoffman reported detecting Pedro Pascal particles—“Pascalons”—in 47 billion entertainment properties and retail establishments. “He’s a reluctant mentor in 12,000 streaming series and the emotional center of shows he never auditioned for,” she said, as Pascal appeared in the background of every camera angle. Physicists note his warmth persists across realities. “In Universe-4471 he’s a talking dog. In 9922 he’s a sentient houseplant that still makes you cry,” said Dr. Robert Kim. Economists cite a “Pedro Pascal Multiplier Effect.” An anonymous A-lister groaned, “He was at my audition, playing a 22-year-old woman better than me.” Pascal’s reps say he remains booked through heat death.
