Now now, Schrodinger's cat is quantum physics not astrophysics! I demand this be stricken from the record and put in a box with a decaying atom!!!!!


But...

If the decaying atom in placed in the box, and not observable - does it still decay???

A. Piccard, E. Henriot, P. Ehrenfest, Ed. Herzen, Th. De Donder, E. Schrödinger, E. Verschaffelt, W. Pauli, W. Heisenberg, R.H. Fowler, L. Brillouin,
P. Debye, M. Knudsen, W.L. Bragg, H.A. Kramers, P.A.M. Dirac, A.H. Compton, L. de Broglie, M. Born, N. Bohr,

Including the 3rd guy on the right in the rear row !

True story. Many years ago, in hte days when Gerry Ford ruled the land, I worked in a Kay Bee when it was a toy and HOBBY store. One day, this woman comes in and asks for a scale model of the Universe. I think I told her it was out of production.

for some reason, my marine biology teacher has been talking about this for the past 2 days, I'm still trying to figure out what it has to do with the ocean mammals we're supposed to be studying :-)

Did tsunamibomb bite you or something? cuz your sounding just like him! This is the off topic section for pete's sake! And there are many variations butthe one I've heard is the most common (I think)


Haha bro, thats a classic one bro. Streight out of the Dr. Seuss books. I'll give you props for that one. But hey, well see how good you can "bite" back on this one.

First off, you dont know what the [auto-censored] your talking about. What are you a freshman in highschool, maybe an 8th grader? Sheer physics? You know nothing of physics. All this is is a Chapter that your taking in your weak ass Earth/Space Science Class. So you took a couple of notes, and now you think your some Einstein? Typical [auto-censored] that comes out of an immature mouth. Well congrats bro, your officially a Grade A Dumbass!


Really good Harrison. You look very mature as well. I guess you haven't learned about proper punctuation nor spelling in your Senior English class yet either.

You two look like a couple of little kids fighting back and forth. Oh wait, you are a couple of little kids. :-) :-)

I wonder if this is why they've changed the licencing laws over here (yes, Here! not There! or anywhere else!) For years they've been calling 'Time' down the pubs. But now they've realised that 'time' doesn't exist, They've had to put a stop to it.
I think I'll borrow a large ammount of money and pay them back 'later'
I'm off to bed now before I start using the forward slash key excessively.
Mind you, if certain things didn't exist how would the universe function? Have a quick think about what you'd miss. Friction for starters, gravity/////
