My cat is a great fan of the string theory. He fantasizes about it.
Our cat prefers yarn theory.

I say “cogito ergo sum” because the philosophical question as to the reality of knowledge is answered to my satisfaction by Descartes.
I admit that it is easier to imagine that the world is imaginary, than to accept that we don’t know or that we can’t know how it really works.
Why do I even wonder?
When I wonder, why don’t I question the reality of myself as the asker?
Cogito ergo sum...cogitaremus!
When Morpheus tells Neo about the matrix, he suggests that there are ways to know that it is not real. “Have you ever had a dream that you thought was so real...” But what if the matrix works so well that there is no way to tell it is a matrix? In other words, granting that the world is real is the start of a process of satisfying scientific discovery though it leads to this, an unsatisfying destination.
Is that Schrodenger’s Cat?
