I love how it looks like the cat is looking at the empty box thinking "Yo wtf???”

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

It probably is actually.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 39 points 8 months ago

Funnily enough due to the weird quantum properties of light.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago

That is what it is called, but how does it work?

[-] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

1 downvote probably didn't scroll back up the 2 cm

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Wait. Shouldn't the cat be in both boxes, though? The two states are dead or alive and not nonexistent or existent

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

The cat's a Jedi. It fades away when it dies.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Yes, but it does not change anything to the statement, it is irrelevant whether it is illustrated with alive/dead or existing/non-existent

No, this is Patrick.

No, partially reflective mirror, because it's dark outside where the cat is.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago
