Schrodinger's kitty

Can be found here.
*sigh*

Of course, this would be a way to quickly filter physics types.  Filter 'for' or filter 'out', lady's choice.


Mathematically, the content of the shirt can be expressed as:
psi = 1/sqrt(2) * (hello kitty +/- goodbye kitty),
where '+' is used if kitty obeys Bose-Einstein statistics, '-' is used where kitty obeys Fermi-Dirac statistics.  I have no idea which a real cat could be.  Experiment idea: spin two identical cats on a hardwood floor and slide the spinning cats into each other.  If they mutually annihilate (emitting dust bunnies and flea-ons, presumably), use the '-' in the above expression.  If the two cats curl up comfortably, then use the '+'.
