Sleeping Around

Theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger is best known for his thought experiment known as “Schrödinger’s cat,” in which a cat hidden in a box may be simultaneously alive and dead. A lesser-known corollary, “Schrödinger’s wheel,” postulates that two cats sleeping unobserved in a box may begin rotating clockwise.

two kittens with identical white and grey-striped fur sleep in a box, with the head of each one at the rear of the other.

    So sweet I might need to get the cavities filled. And the cats have such pretty markings too!
