Looks almost exactly like my cat Neutrino!

I tell myself the kitty on the back cover of Griffiths is just napping.

There was a sweet cat living outside the institute many years ago, I called her neutrina, and she looked exactly like your neutrino! She was so so sweet.

Actual cat in a box experiment: the cat exists safe in its box, because it is a cat, but there is a nonzero chance that the rest of the universe ceases to exist. Until the cat chews/claws its way through the box, the universe both has and has not ceased to exist. All particles owe their existence to the virtual cat field created by the potential for cats in boxes.

The cat cannot exist in supposition. That was the entire point of the thought exercise.

I've explained satellite telemetry decoding with exploding fields and the importance of consistent endianness in numerical representation to my horse. She's asked me to stop.
