That's...Interesting.

I appear to be having what can only be described as a mild anxiety attack about leaving my house

*observes you* Well, you seem to be alive from here, not in a quantum state...

[pdragon76]

So like, before the box is opened, the realities of the cat being either alive or the cat being dead are both equally possible and valid. And since one of them must be true, that means that until you open the box and find out, they are BOTH TRUE AT THE SAME TIME WTF ZOMBIE CAT.

Am I understanding this right?

[lilacsigil]

YES YOU ARE RIGHT! ZOMBIE UNDEAD CAT IN THE BOX!

Um...want some hugs???

I...don't think it's a good idea to read quantum mechanics when you has your pyramids and you're not on top of your mental game.

I need to remember this.

Dude. I just emailed Dad of Dragons saying:

I need you to explain this to me in Dad language, like I am your idiot child who needs extra tutelage.

Until the actual effect is observed, both outcomes exist in equal reality at the same time?

*weeps*

You should totally get this. For, well, no real reason.

Zombie cat FTW.

And now Wellsy is texting me going: Nononono. Sweetie. It's okay. Because the cat has nine lives.

And I am all: THIS PARADOX HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AT LEAST NINE TIMES THAT CAT IS FUCKED.

*wigs out* OMG, that t-shirt would haunt me from the dresser. I would never sleep again.

Heh. ThinkGeek also has pocket cards (to hand out when you're wearing the T-shirt and people keep going "WTF?") saying, "No actual cats were harmed in this experiment. Many theoretical physicists, however, were." That's my line of thinking.

This is way beyond my pay grade.

*clutches nursing book and hands you a bandaid.

[pdragon76]

This is clearly way beyond my pay grade too, babe. I have spent most of the afternoon in a noxious funk of confusion.

*weeps softly*
