Shrodinger Memes


This meme is used to suggest that something is not quite as simple as it might seem, but is often used in a satirical or funny way. I think it is very appropriate for the concepts of quantum mechanics which are not only complex, but very non-intuitive. 


This second meme is a more entertaining take on the ideas of quantum mechanics. Interestingly, the idea of zombies seems to come up a lot in relation to quantum mechanics, and especially Schrodinger's Cat. 


This picture looks like it was meant to be a pretend movie poster, it would have been a complicated piece of art to make, but I am really interested in the way that they gave Schrodinger a machine gun, I guess an action movie would probably sell better than a science documentary.

  1. I really like the fan art poster you have. It's really funny. There was a song I learned in high school called "The Cat Came Back" which was about a guy who got stuck with a horrible cat and tried multiple ways of killing it. The cat kept coming back and he could never get rid of it. I think the fan art is also referencing this song. I think this is an intriguing topic that initially I thought there wouldn't be too much fan art or memes for. It looks like a fun choice.

  2. I loved your memo's. Especially the philosoraptor one. I think it's funny how many people in our group did something from LOTR and that two people did a "One does not simply..." meme.
