third truth | text; locked from witches and onii-chan.

A simple question.

Imagine there is a box that can fit a cat inside. Now, is the cat dead or alive?

Also: to those who know about Team Rocket -- onii-chan thought of an interesting theory about it. We can't prove if it's true or not, though. A Devil's Proof.

The cat is neither dead nor alive. As a matter of fact, the cat may not even be in the box.

What happens if it isn't there?

Then we don't know where it is. If we take Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle into account, that makes finding the cat that much harder as it could be anywhere.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle?

The more certain you are aware of an object's momentum or position, the less certain you are of the other factor. By placing the cat in the box, you have made yourself aware of the momentum of the cat, therefore you are fully unaware of the position.

Hm. That makes sense.

Don't quote me though. I'm not an expert.
