The meme creator absolutely butchered the vanilla version of Schrodinger’s cat. It’s not that the box contains either a live or dead cat and the observer is unaware of which it is, it’s that the cat in the box exists simultaneously in a state of being dead as well as being alive.
No, Occam’s Razor doesn’t say the simpler solution is the right one. It says that when two theories compete, the simpler one is preferred.
I had understood it to mean, the more simple a theory is, the more likely it is to be true.
E.g. “organisms change through time to become the creatures that exist today” vs. “organisms change through time to become the creatures that exist today through the intelligent design of a creator.”
The former, having fewer conditions to be true, is more likely to be true.
Murphy’s law is about bad things occurring. A cat gin a box of a good thing. Murphy’s Cat should really be about there not being a cat in the box.
The cat could be dead ;c
The XKCD is strong with this one.
I definitely have Occam’s Cat
Total horror movie vibes
Bingo!
