  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Which was the more important point.

If the microscopic particle subject to superposition was the catalyst for the cat's death, then too isn't the cat's fate in both realities?

Of course he was being intentionally absurd
