so, the schrodinger's cat theory says something to the effect of: if you put a cat in a container and give it a poison which has a 50/50 chance of killing/not killing the cat, the cat exists in this container both alive and dead. It is 100% alive and 100% dead until the box is opened, at which time the cat will be only 100% of either alive or dead. I don't really know why I'm talking about this, but it's kind of interesting and I'm kind of reading a book on it.
somewhat related, though, it is theorized that for every possible actionthere is a seperare universe. Or, like, say, right now there is an alternate universe where I deleted this entire entry, and another one where I never even started it. I don't know, really. But it makes me feel like I shouldn't do anything at all because there is another universe where I actually do the things I don't want to do and am successful. It's like, man, if that universe already exists, I am not going to bother doing the same thing.
I probably just don't understand the whole thing at all though.
