Dagens dybsindige citat

[Awesome]

Der er sagt så UENDELIGT meget forblommet sludder om tankeeksperimentet Schrödingers kat hentet fra kvantemekanikken.
Bedst illustreres det med et aktuelt indlæg, jeg lige faldt over, da jeg forsøgte at google mig frem til nedenstående digt:

Hermed omtrent det eneste smukke, der er kommet ud af al snakken:

Fra T.S. Elliots' "McCavity Cat".

Schrödinger's cat's a mystery cat, he illustrates the laws
the complicated things he does have no apparent cause
he baffles the determinist and drives him to dispair
for when then try to pin him down - the quantum cat's not there!

Schrödinger's cat's a mystery cat, he's given to random decisions;
His mass is slightly altered by a cloud of virtual kittens;
The vacuum fluctuations print his traces in the air
But if you try to find him, the quantum cat's not there!

Schrödinger's cat's a mystery cat, he is very small and light
and if you try to pen him in, he tunnels out of sight
so when the cruel scientist confined him in a box
with poison-capsules triggered by bizarre atomic clocks
he wasn't alive, he wasn't dead - or half of each, I swear
that when they fixed his eigenstate - he simply wasn't there!
