    Sure. Which other scientist who first designed Schrödinger’s Cat experiment should I refer to by name, then?

      The S. Cat experiment has always been a pun. It argues that the cat is in superposition of state, which is absurd. That was a bad dad joke from the very beginning.

      So what you’re asking is basically “how do I tell the joke without telling the joke?”

      And my answer to that is maybe you simply shouldn’t tell that joke because it’s bad.

      There are tons of better quantum physics jokes. Go watch an episode of Futurama

          It can be both. The pun was created to highlight the supposed shortcomings of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.

          The whole setup is purposefully grotesque.
