    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.

      Occam’s Razor is also wrong. It’s not about simplicity, but assumptions. The explanation that makes the fewest assumptions is usually the right one.

      “God created everything” is a very simple explanation, but it requires the massive assumption that God exists.

      So we can fix that row:

      • Schrödinger’s Gun : The gun is both loaded and empty. Reality will converge onto the “truth” only when it is fired.
      • Schrödinger’s razor : The box contains both the solution to your problem and a means to make that problem much worse.
      • Schrödinger’s law : The future is both in a state where things go right, and in one where they go wrong.
