Nah; that was Schrödinger’s brain cells.

I've been a physics fan for decades. Recently started reading again, just to see what's new, etc. Best book so far, out of the half dozen or so, is "Hidden in Plain Sight"

Hidden in Plain Sight Kindle Edition is 99 cents. The author is Andrew Thomas.

It helps, I think, if you've been exposed to quantum and relativity for awhile, and are either in awe or puzzled that the two regimes don't reconcile.

The other stuff I've been reading is heavy on string theory, which is sort of interesting and aims to put some more meat on what Mr. Thomas is getting at; and books about "dark matter" and "dark energy." Very strange physical world we live in, in many many ways.

How would you know?

Depressed cats cause radioactive decay. Shove one into a Schrödinger box and if the cat is depressed the radioactive sample will decay thus killing the cat. A happy cat will prevent that decay. Thus if we get enough happy cats together we can stop a nuclear bomb from going off.

I knew someone would get Schrödinger into this thread.

If nobody did I would have :-)

One more reason I don't eat at the Peking Moon!
