Schrodinger's Cat's in the Cradle (Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin)

(Schrodinger's Cat on Wikipedia)


A theory was formed just the other day

You put a cat in a box and then you walk away

And there's a Geiger counter that will assay

if there's radioactive decay

and there's a vial full of poison, and it will break

But we won't know the cat's fate yet

You know we're gonna have to wait

 

The cat's in the box, is it alive or dead?

All these quantum physics are hurting my head

When you gonna open it?

I don't know when,

We'll find out together then

The superposition will end

 

The universe split just the other day

And the cat died in one world, but it's still okay

in a separate world. But to my dismay,

we don't know which we're in. No, we just can't say.

The multiverse hypothesis clearly states:

while we don't know the cat's fate yet,

the worlds are not overlaid

 

The cat's in the box, is it alive or dead?

All these quantum physics are hurting my head

When you gonna open it?

I don't know when,

We'll find out together then

The superposition will end

 

In Copenhagen just the other day

Bohr and Heisenberg had this to say

"It's both alive and dead, concurrently, perhaps

Observing it, will make the wave collapse.

This is possible because of quantum mechanics

It's natural; try to not panic."

 

The cat's in the box, is it alive or dead?

All these quantum physics are hurting my head

When you gonna open it?

I don't know when,

We'll find out together then

The superposition will end

 

We've since been defunded, and the box packed away

I tracked down Schrodinger the other day

I said, "I'd like to open it if you don't mind."

He said, "Well, be my guest, but it's a waste of time

You see, the box was a metaphor, and the cat isn't real.

It's a thought experiment, but not real.

 Yes, it all felt quite surreal.

I couldn't open the box; it just hurt my head

The cat's alive and dead

It's both alive and dead

 

The cat's in the box, is it alive or dead?

All these quantum physics are hurting my head

When you gonna open it?

I don't know when,

We'll find out together then

The superposition will end

Hoth is Cold (Hot n Cold - Katy Perry)

I'm aware of my weak rhymes. But really, not a lot rhymes with AT-AT or carbonite.

 

You've changed your hair

No more cinamon buns

Yeah you, braided it

the rebelion's begun

 

And Yoda is green

Always speaks

Cryptically

 

I see a ghost

Obi-Wan Kenobi

 

'Cause it's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

You're ready to fight

The wampa is white

We fight the AT-ATs

We kiss, just like that

(You) You thought it was an asteroid

(You) But it was really a probe droid

'Cause it's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

 

Leia and Luke

they are twins

secretly

Anakin, he

is the big enemy

Used to be on the light side

They were told that he died

 

I should know that

He's not gonna change

 

'Cause it's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

You're ready to fight

The wampa is white

We fight the AT-ATs

We kiss, just like that

(You) You thought it was an asteroid

(You) But it was really a probe droid

'Cause it's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

 

Someone call a Jedi

Han is frozen in carbonite

And now things aren't quite right

Fleeing Cloud City

 

You changed your hand

'cause your dad cut it off

 

'Cause it's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

You're ready to fight

The wampa is white

We fight the AT-ATs

We kiss, just like that

It's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun

You're ready to fight

The wampa is white

We fight the AT-ATs

We kiss, just like that

(You) You thought it was an asteroid

(You) But it was really a probe droid

It's Hoth and it's cold

It's covered in snow

You're waiting for dawn

Inside your Tauntaun
