Schrödinger's Cat Paradox
In the world of quantum physics, nothing is more real than Mike's cat.
Mike's cat, Schrödinger, was in a box with a tiny nuclear device. The device was set to detonate if it was observed.
But here's the thing: as long as Mike didn't look in the box, the cat was in a superposition of states: alive AND dead. It was like the cat was stuck in a never-ending loop of existential dread.
Until Mike finally opened the box and observed the cat, the cat collapsed into just one state: "I'm dead, man, I was always dead." It was like the cat was saying, "I told you so."
And that's when Mike realized, "You know what? If I'm not looking, you're alive, and if I am looking, you're dead. That's just how it is, cat."
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go check on Schrödinger. I'm a little worried he might still be in a superposition.

- Q: Why did the quantum particle go to the party?
- A: Because it was a superposition of fun and not fun.
- Q: Why did Mike's cat join a rock band?
- A: Because it was purr-fectly in tune.
