Explanation

Schrödinger's_cat Is a famous thought experiment proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in which a cat inside a box with a complex apparatus might be alive or dead after 1 hour. Doing calculations on the state of the system would require accounting for both a living and dead cat. This would result in very complex calculations due to having to account for a seemingly simple alive/dead state. Simply opening the box and looking would tell you which state is currently correct and save quite a bit of calculation.

I read it as: The comic is not funny, and thus the curse word is because it's not funny. Does anyone else agree? 01:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
