Quantum Physics Consultation

Dear Schrödinger, we're told that, according to you, a cat is both dead and alive.

We're wondering: should you use a can opener?

Pros:

• A can opener would be a great tool for opening cans of quantum entanglement.
• A can opener would allow you to ponder the meaning of life while simultaneously enjoying a snack.

Cons:

• A can opener would likely create a paradox, causing the cat to simultaneously open and not-open the can.
• A can opener would require you to confront the uncertainty principle in a way that's just too existential.

What do you think? Should you use a can opener?

Do not attempt to use a can opener in a quantum superposition state.
