Here’s a question from Mark from Delaware:

What breed was Schrödinger’s cat?

It was a pedigree theoretical cat. The best breed, in my opinion: it doesn’t moult, piss on the carpet or claw at visitors.

Do any of you know whether or not Erwin Schrödinger actually owned a cat? Since his famous thought experiment involved dead cat, I always assumed he probably wasn’t a fan of the live kind.

    Well played! How much did it wind Martin up to suggest that the cat was any more likely to be dead than alive?
