It was a dark and stormy night when the great scientist, Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, first proposed the Schrödinger Cat Hypothesis. A hypothesis so profound, so mind-bending, that it threatened to upend the very fabric of reality itself.
Or, at the very least, it threatened to upend the fabric of the local diner's breakfast menu.
According to Dr. Bottomsworth, "If I were to place a cat in a box, and then place a slice of bacon in that box, and then—
—What is the meaning of bacon?
—then, and only then, could we truly understand the nature of reality itself."
