Schroedinger’s Cat

Those of you who don’t get the joke should be very, very grateful.

I’ll rephrase that…I never understood why he couldn’t make it so the cat escapes as opposed to gets poisoned. Haha

Probably because he was an evil bastard. (Undergraduate physics majors who find quantum mechanics too difficult have been telling me as much for years.)

:-P I guess the concept of the cat getting killed is kind of funny since it’s totally by chance. You’re an undergraduate physics major? Or going for masters in physics?

I think the joke in the image is the similar wording/different meaning to “im in ur base…”

No, I’m not an undergraduate physics major or going for a MSc in physics. I did however take full undergraduate physics and mathematics curricula while obtaining my BSc in Computer Science. This seemed like a perfectly normal thing to do at the time.

FWIW, I really liked quantum mechanics, but everyone else kept telling me it was horribly hard, so…
