01375: The Cat Has Nine Lives


In this classic conceptual experiment, it seems like a no-brainer that the cat in the box is dead. I mean come on, it's trapped with a broken vial of poison, of course it's going to die, quantum physics be damned! All signs point to the inevitable conclusion that the cat is dead.

But the cat's alive. Life surprises you that way.

Sorry to scare you folks today - at least the ones on social media. But it couldn't be helped - I was even more scared than you. In fact, I was practically terrified or at least on the brink of total despair. But everything is okay now. My family is complete. Love has seen us through.
