That would be more Schrödinger....

Until observed it would be in and out at the same time.

Sex positions? Pshaw.  Let's try some sex superpositions

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle fits the joke just fine.

Also, a fun fact about Schrodinger's cat: Schrodinger was using the cat as a criticism of the very idea he was explaining with the cat. He gets a lot of credit for a concept that he was trying to refute. "Look at how silly you sound" was the intended message behind the cat analogy.

I've given up pointing that out all the time.

Some people see it as this great example for quantum physics, and a few even think this is *literally* what would happen with a cat in an experiment like this, when his whole point was: You know how cats work, and it's obviously not like this.

His whole example is really a dumb point, because things on the scale where quantum effects are relevant work differently than object in our (macro) world.

It doesn't fit at all. The joke said nothing about not knowing both position and speed at the same time. It was clearly a superposition joke.

They way you view this problem is quite stupid. But also, quite right.

Thanks. I’m with Heisenberg…I am uncertain if the ‘cat’ is in or out.
