Not laser related, but a great thinking exercise

Re: Not laser related, but a great thinking exerci

Well the mythbusters have empirically demonstrated that buttered toast landing is truely a random event with the probability of toast landing buttered side down is 50%. As such, strapping toast to a cat will not effect the ability of the cat to land on its feet.

I think we must look at the syllogism:

Some toast lands buttered side down
All cats always land on their feet

Therefore cats with toast strapped to their backs always land on their feet

I was thinking they would just kinda hover over the ground and spin ;D

If that happened, they would probably make perfect targets for batting practice or maybe even a T-ball game without the T. Cat's are my friends.....cats are my friends....cats are my friends.

I would start quoting, but it'd make my post immensely large, and some people dont like that ;D


Frothy, cool explanation. I get the screenshot example, but not the next one ("By having a timescale to measure the momentum you cannot know where the particle is in that time period.").
