Due to a darkly energetic headache, I ain't gonna do any more work on the following non-quantum entanglemeant: sorry.
Do I hear "boring: Here he goes again!"? Yes! But at least this time it's briefish, being simply two less-than-super knotty strings to cut, unravel or totally ignore, as you pleeze.
- symmetry breaking... violence... killing cats... collapsing the wave function... imposing a value on a variable... birth... death ... black hole... white bang...
- Yahweh/Oroboros... vector/scalar... deterministic/stochastic... Euclidian/Riemannian... differential/integral... reductionist/holistic... telos/ask-us... arrow/wheel... time/space... dynamic/static... determination/flexibility.
From the above less than half-baked attempt to cook up a batch of parallels between religion, physics and metaphysics, you can tell I need a new stove.
The cat was Schrodinger's, BTW. No felines were harmed in the experiment, which was thoughtful.
Have a great 26,000 year-long day!

Aha! This is why you ate an evil sandwich. You need a new stove. Who is Schrodinger?
I need a new stove too. But I am lazy. I shall stick with my microwave.
Lazy person: You could put your stove in the microwave to save yourself the effort of getting rid of it! ;-)
Tempest, thanks for your comment. MM
Hi Karen, with bitterness and gall that evil sandwich keeps returning. So I thought if I had it cremated maybe I could prevent its reincarnation. Hence the stove.
Schrodinger was a quantum physicist who dreamed up a thought experiment involving radioactive decay as the mechanism whereby the cat would be both dead and alive simultaneously. But only until the experimenter/observer looks closely enough to collapse the wave function, thereby crystallizing a firm outcome either way.
The thought(ful) experiment was designed to illustrate the stochastic nature of reality at the quantum level.
Well you did ask!
Thanks for your comment, MM.
Gomething to say? Come on... gimme your best shot!
