Quote:With two cats, the probability is 1/4 that there are 18 lives left and 1/4 that there are none. The probabilities for intermediate states cannot be calculated without resorting to Gödelian numbers and contain unnormalizable infinities. Indeed, the whole study of QCD (Quantum Cat Dynamics) is complex beyond understanding, but progress is being made on Fundamental Hairball Theory -- basically an indigestible multidimensional string theory.This was such a good point that no reply was worthy of it.
Then again, I might as well, since most of my replies are unworthy.
I surmise that my cats' barf is multidimensional, or at least it changes my state when I observe it (using a corrected Hobble).
And speaking of Gödel, was it not he who proved that despite knowing some things about your cat, you can't possibly know everything about your cat?
(That could be why they're so smug.)
