Just a Passage

Dr. Erwin Schrodinger wrote that a cat, in a hat, was that and not that.

In a hat? That and not that?

How can this be, that cat in that hat is that and not that?

It is easy, for you to know. Sit back and watch the show.

If I take a cat, a really hungry cat. (meow)

And put the cat in a hat is there a cat in that hat?

Yes, in the hat is the cat. Is it a base ball hat? Should I get my baseball bat?

It is as big a hat as you can want, big enough for an elephant.

Like an oversized ten gallon hat, I hear Cowboys like to wear that.

But this cat? the this and that cat? Should I feed our cat? Our hungry cat?

Oh, that! Do not you worry about about our cat. I have some friends taking care of that.

Well did they come and feed our cat? We were busy picking our hat!

I do not know, would you look at that! They are rather reliable who feed our cat.

They are there when you need. Every hour indeed. they have a half chance of being about, and a half chance of not.

So how will we know if our cat has been fed? Let us look inside the hat? how about that?

We can look inside, and I say we should. But look at our cat in that hat thats that and not that!

That and not that? there you go again! What is so that and not that about our skinny or fat cat?

Well you just replied with a question and the answer is both and neither!

So our cat in the hat is skinny and fat?

For now, that is that. Our friends either came or did not, there is no way to tell. They dont leave a note, or even a smell.

So for now till we look, we will have to assume, inside the hat, which is inside this room, our that and not that cat is both that and not that.

Is this the way that Schrodinger wrote? UUMMMMMM, here's a quote:

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
