Chat De Schrodinger Et Metamorphism
Inside me is a box, my personal paradox
Inside this box there is me, my poison of loss and the decay of time
When time ran out, my loss became too great, I died
Yet I do not want to look, frightened even terrified
But this is merely theory? Surely not a truth
When really my box contains only uncertainty, not knowing what will be
Would I live or die, could I do both? I already did the later
So perhaps it is true, I am both states
Or has my box a new name? Pandora may fit
And so I lock it tightly, I will never open it, to bring more hurt to my world
I have pain enough

Schrödinger's cat (a brief explanation)
Imagine that a cat, poison, a geiger counter, radioactive material, and a hammer were inside of a sealed container. The amount of radioactive material was minuscule enough that it only had a 50/50 shot of being detected over the course of an hour. If the geiger counter detected radiation, the hammer would smash the poison, killing the cat. Until someone opened the container and observed the system, it was impossible to predict the cat’s outcome. Thus, until the system collapsed into one configuration, the cat would exist in some superposition zombie state of being both alive and dead.
Many people incorrectly assume Schrödinger supported the premise behind the thought experiment, he really didn’t. His entire point was that it was impossible.
A small joke
Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar
And doesn’t
