    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.

      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.
