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!
NIGHTMERRIES: THE LIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS This so-called "book" will chew you up, spit you out, and leave you twitching and frothing on the carpet. More than 60 dark and feculent fictions (read ‘em and weep) copiously illustrated by over 20 grotesque images you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
AWAREWOLF & OTHER CRHYMES AGAINST HUMANITY (Vot could be Verse?) We all hate poetry, right? But we might make an exception for this sick and twisted stuff. This devil's banquet of adults-only offal features more than 50 satanic sonnets, vitriolic verses and odious odes.
MANIC MEMES & OTHER MINDSPACE INVADERS A disturbing repository of quotably quirky quotes, sayings, proverbs, maxims, ponderances, adages and aphorisms. This menagerie holds no fewer than 184 memes from eight meme-species perfectly adapted to their respective environments.
MASTRESS & OTHER TWISTED TAILS, ILLUSTRATED: an unholy corpus of oddities, strangelings, bizarritudes and peculiaritisms
FIENDS & FREAKS Adults-only Tales of Serpents, Dragons, Devils, Lobsters, Anguished Spirits, Gods, Anti-gods and Other Horse-thieves You Wouldn't Want to Meet in a Dark Kosmos: 4th Edition

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.
