Plush Schrödinger’s Cat Is Both Alive and Dead

Posted on by

This Schrödinger’s Cat Plush toy from is a cuddly stuffed animal that is both alive and dead at the same time, depending which side is facing you. You don’t even need a box to ponder what state it’s in. Just look at it.


In case you weren’t aware, this plush is all about the 1935 thought experiment: Can a cat in a box filled with poison be simultaneously living and dead as long as no one looks in the box? I have no idea. All I know is that, dead or alive, it is coming home with me.


Just throw kitty up in the air and see how it lands to determine it’s status. Then cuddle it. Grab your kitty over at ThinkGeek for $18.99(USD).

The problem with this question is, how would you ever know? You wouldn't, right? Well, not so fast there. Turns out, maybe there is a way to unravel the matrix (if there is one). It'll come as no surprise, that this is one of the topics in this week's collection of alternative stories. Think that's all we got? Not even close. We'll explore the truth behind cloning dinosaurs, as well a rare performance by singing mice -- all before dinner. Or is it really dinner? This is alt-week.
