Heisenberg and Schrodinger are riding in Heisenberg’s car when he gets pulled over for speeding. The cop asks Heisenberg “Do you know how fast you were going?” Heisenberg replies “No, but I can tell you exactly where we are.” The cop says “I clocked you doing 78 mph!” Heisenberg wails “Oh great, now we’re lost!” The cop thinks these two are acting suspicious and asks to search the car. Popping open the trunk he calls out “You boys know you’ve got a dead cat in your trunk?” to which Schrodinger exclaims “Well, NOW it is!”

I hate Schrodinger’s cat references. It just reminds me how poorly I did in Physics in college. :(

I think Rita has nailed it. Schrödinger’s cat being a zombie explains it all. It is neither alive nor dead at the same time.

Schrödinger’s Cat is terribly misunderstood. He was trying to show the absurdity of the Copenhagen Model of Quantum physics.

“Thought experiments” try to create paradoxes that don’t exist in reality.
