If you ever get bored by Albert's quotes, just kindly yell so.


 
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." Unless it's Schrödinger's cat, which in that case is everywhere, at the beginning, at the end and all along the signal. It even sends and receives the signal, which meows about him. In fact, the cat is both the signal and the message, both container and content.

But ultimately Albert is right, when all is said and done, weighed and poised: there is no cat.

Albert Einstein, continued by me.
