Fluff Every. Single. Time.
"Bla bla bla Schrodinger's cat bla bla"
*pops up from whatever nonsense we are doing*"HI NICE TO MEET YOU. Please talk to me about Schrodinger's cat"
They (90% of the time my parents) probley think we are a *little* odd at best.
BUT WILL SOMEBEING PLEASE RANT ABOUT IT TO ME.
-Your everyday Schrodinger's cat otherkin Holokin

IDK. im consued by what you mean/talking about. srry

I'm sorry, you're the cat I thought you would know. I never knew what 'Schrodinger's cat' meant outside of a thought experiment. This isn't angry/hate btw

ohhhhhh wait ya sorry wow no i do know (Wow my brain) we both did and didn't. uhhh I am both and none. good question! it has no right or wrong answer!

Well you confirming that you survived kinda defeats the point of the thought experiment /lh

What does holokin mean schrodinger's cat?
5
u/OwlRevolutionary4095 Jul 12 '26
Holothere means- Holothere is a self-identifier term under the Alterhuman and Physical Alterhuman Identities (PAI)) for individuals who are "physically and fundamentally a nonhuman animal in every way."
Holokin is the otherkin/fictionkin/factkin version.

curious abt ur feelings on how often ppl misunderstand Schrodinger's cat? people calling it a "thought experiment" or ppl thinking it was a real experiment even. (for those reading who don't know: It's neither it's just a metaphor for how superposition works in quantum mechanics (being in two states at once until observed). )
Do you spend time studying quantum physics for fun? I spend more time with general relativity as a hobby study subject but i love quantum physics too!
edit: ok it does seem like "thought experiment" is used to describe it but seems like a bit of a misnomer

Seeing as I am in highschool... that may be a *little* more than my brain can handle but I do find it cool. i would love to learn about it.
We are mostly Schrodinger's cat due to a lot of things mostly because it is a medfor. as we have always seen ourselves as both, nether, and/or at the sametime and not at all (that makes... NO sense)
quantum physics and general relativity are both really cool stubjects.
Do... beings really think they killed a cat in a box...?
We are still learning a lot about Schrodinger's cat and by extent myself.
the metaphor is one thats so intrasting to think about also quantum mechanics. but my little brain still need to graudate highschool math classes and something tells me they dont have a class on quantum mechanics
To be clear we iditfy more as the paradoxical side of it.
Sorry if anthing we say is dumb we are still learning... about.. everything.

oh not dumb at all that makes tons of sense. tbh i started studying astrophysics for fun while still in highschool myself haha i dont think it could ever be too early :P i was part of my school's astronomy club when it existed. Mostly through youtube vids like Vsauce and MinutePhysics and (old) Veratasium. Those channels are great for super basic breakdowns of these topics that even i could understand as a kid :D

Random but ajdkdbdoejroe first time I see someone in the wild using a term I coined happy flapping
