This rocks, wonder if it was made by a DF fan...

[Duke 2.0]

 It is a rather absolute truth realized before Dwarf Fortress came about. Just including cats in rather odd scientific tests and theories does not make a DF player.

 Although they would like the physics of 'apply lava' to every test.

Ah, but certainly you don't believe that the jelly will stick forever?
And adding a sufficient adhesive would either shield the jelly, negating the quantum state, or dilute it, for similar results.

On the other hand, preforming the experiment above magma(Not lava though) is sufficient to provide a secondary source of quantum uncertainty ensuring that neither the cat nor the jelly will touch the ground, ever again, even after the magma has been drained.

It is uncertain how much this can be exploited, but as a cat, like all other land-based creatures, counts as a projectile when falling, it is unable to pathfind, and thus this can, at the very least, be exploited to increase the framerate. Further tests must be conducted to test if the projectile state prevents adoption.

You never wondered why dwarves invented catapult bridges? (pun totaly unintended)

Since when is floating considered 'quantum indecision'?

[Zironic]

The cat will spin right above the point at which it would land the ground, as with the jelly on it's back, it must land jelly side down, however as a cat, it must land on it's feet. Thus an atom above the ground, the cat will float waiting until no one is looking at it so that the observer effect disappears. The great question is, who is watching the cats?!

[sonerohi]

That would be the worst job over. Just sit around all day staring at several hundred spin-hovering cats as they power the world.

[Zironic]

"JIMMY, JESUS MAN, EYES ON THE CATS!, Half of London just lost power!"

[Duke 2.0]

"JIMMY, JESUS MAN, EYES ON THE CATS!, Half of London just lost power!"

Cue frantic tossing of cats into the air as an assistant starts to power steam the carpet to allow the effect to happen. A manager stares at the whole scene, as they are known to be good at doing just that.

[qwertyuiopas]

Well, it's simple, really. Set up a web program that lets people watch the cats in realitme, and then add entertainment value to it.

[JoshuaFH]

It'll be like Lolcats, except it's a video feed, and they're spinning in midair and covered in jam.

Network Executive: Put a few stars in it and I'll greenlight it.

Feed the video of the room into TV and Youtube ads. You'd have a pair of eyes on the room every moment of every day.

That said, observation doesn't have to be by a person. Just have pressure sensors under the carpet that record if the cat lands.
