Of cats and the laws of physics
-
Could someone kindly explain to me how they got from "the box that makes a noise has something inside it" to "cats understand physics"? Cats seem to grasp the laws of physics[^] Sounds like a good way to swindle research funds.
Cats are alien beings that telepathically send their observations back to their home world, Meow. When they stare at things longer, they're actually sending longer messages, along the lines of "humans keep proving what idiots they are." Marc

Cats understand how to manipulate people in a way that we give them shelter and food; let them sit on us; let them in, then out, then in, then out again; let them wreck our furniture and won't even get mad... Ancient Egypt worshiped them. And now they have taken over the Internet. Cats understand way more than just physics, they might be aliens with an intellect vastly superior than our own! You think the Illuminati or lizards rule the world? Hell no, it's cats!

You make a convincing argument there. Does tinfoil protect against cats?

Seems like it does[^] :laugh:

I finished watching a random Monty Python video just prior to reading this thread, so naturally I read all these comments in the various voices of the Python troupe. It was extraordinarily entertaining, what with all the non-sequiters and whatnot. "That's not a cat license. That's a dog license with the word 'dog' crossed off and 'cat' written in crayon."

I'd have said it's the basic grasp of "noise == something to chase". Hunting instinct != understanding of Physics.

Because without some grasp of physics there's no way for cats to make the predictions they do. Duh.

Only to someone who knows nothing about the field science and how and why research is done.

So he understands about lasers, batteries, optics, etc. That's good. You should write a paper about it.

Great! Sort one out, and let her do all the work! You can just rake in all the money, because money has nothing to do with Physics, so cats don't understand it.
