When people hear the phrase “just because,” they often treat it as a non-answer. It sounds evasive, dismissive, even childish—like when a kid is asked why they did something and responds with nothing more than a shrug.

In 1935, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment to illustrate the paradoxes of quantum mechanics. In it, a cat placed inside a sealed box is simultaneously alive and dead until someone opens the box and observes the outcome. This concept, meant to expose the absurdity of applying quantum superposition to everyday objects, hasContinue reading “Schrödinger’s Reality Crisis”
