Dear Olive,
Schrodinger's cat is not 50% alive. That is the point of Schrodinger's cat. He is either 100% alive or 100% dead, as well as being 100% dead or 100% alive. There is no 50%.
I wuv you.
Today, when me and Hannah were discussing in math how we were to see you at lunch, Eric Miller says: "Who is Allison? I do not know such a woman." (Perhaps in not so many words.)
And I described you as "She has long dark hair, and was a cat in a past life. She talks with her hands."
I hope that this cheers and bolsters your spirit just a little bit. Maybe enough to write a song with all the big words from A to Z? Maybe. Maybe another day.
But really. How else would you describe you?
Remember that we love you, and that you are not boring, unlike some people (apparently.)
-Martini?
Schrodinger's cat: A cat in a box, poisoned, is both alive and dead until such time as an observer opens the box and one eventuality is true. A great metaphor for alternate realities and quantum physics.
ReplyDeleteLyndsay, why are you a martini?
ReplyDeleteBecause I have a feminine figure and am an acquired taste.
ReplyDeleteAnd therefore, Tuba Boy, the cat is either completely dead or completely alive; there is no half-alive.
ReplyDeleteNo. Therefore, the cat is both dead *and* alive, until such time as one observes the result. Agreed, there is no half-alive though.
