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

Feb 22, 2011 13:26

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.

Schrödinger's cat. That's a quantum mechanics theory, isn't it? or something like that...it's been a while since college.

I don't know exactly what kind of theory it was, but yes, it was called Schrödinger's cat.

[text] philanthrotaku February 22 2011, 23:44:12 UTC

Isn't it impossible to prove whether the cat is dead or alive?

Or, come to think of it, if there even is a cat?

Not unless you have the box and can open it.

[oh he knows this one. Schrödinger's cat, huh...]

Alive. Prove me wrong.

[text] usedpiece February 22 2011, 23:43:06 UTC

Prove that there's a cat in the box.

[text] bakaitoukid February 22 2011, 23:48:35 UTC

[... clever]

Prove that there isn't one.

Devil's Proof.

I can't prove that.

What kind of theory about Team Rocket is your brother thinking of, Lady Ange?

[text] usedpiece February 22 2011, 23:44:48 UTC

He believes Team Rocket and the police might be working together, though I highly doubt it.

[text] wantnotneed February 23 2011, 03:19:33 UTC

Consider that theory thrown out, Lady Ange.

The police here are ridiculously stupid and can't even catch a single criminal. Team Rocket is much, much worse. You can even say that Team Rocket is too clever for the police.

[text] usedpiece February 23 2011, 04:21:08 UTC

Good. I don't want to believe in that theory, anyway. [ unless they're being stupid on purpose!! but she trusts you, mammon. ]

Hoh? A theory? Don't be greedy like Mammon-nee, Ange-sama! Tell me!

[text] usedpiece February 22 2011, 23:46:22 UTC

Well... onii-chan believes that the police and Team Rocket might actually be working together.

[text] stakethruheart February 23 2011, 22:34:07 UTC

Hoh... it sounds like a plot from a mystery novel~

[text] usedpiece February 26 2011, 20:07:48 UTC

Some mystery novel that is.

You didn't mention that a cat was inside, only that it was large enough to fit one.

There is no cat.

usedpiece February 22 2011, 23:47:23 UTC

It's a possible answer, if I opened the box.

phoenix_temple February 22 2011, 23:53:23 UTC

You did not mention a cat at all. Only that the box is big enough to fit one. I do not even know if it is opened or closed. You cannot call something a simple question, or even a question at all, if you have not provided all the information necessary. Like the existence of athe cat.

However, if you are referencing Schrodinger's Cat, it is both dead and not dead at the same time.

[text] usedpiece February 22 2011, 23:58:08 UTC

I suppose so. -- And yes, I was referencing Schrödinger's cat.
