Futurama - What's in the Box, Schrödinger?

[cdmaster35]

1:20 TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHAFUCKA!!!!!

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

Some things like these I feel proud of myself because I get, because I do physics and all... but at the same time, besides that the joke is rea.ly not that funny... maybe slightly amusing is the word for it.

[SuperZalex]

1:14 RAINBOOOOOOW!!!

[Th3SmartAlec]

AH CINNAMON NO!

[superqman2009]

is it bad that i understand all of these science jokes?

[antiHUMANDesigns]

It's tricky to see something that's moving away from you at c or higher. The red-shift due to the doppler effect becomes infinite. Though I guess it's possible that you may see some of the contour because of the light that hits him from the side and happens to scatter in the right direction.

[antiHUMANDesigns]

@antiHUMANDesigns Damn, I just realized my mistake. He is still blocking the light that would otherwise have passed there, so he would appear as a black silhuette.

I'm also guessing there would be some form of optical effect around him, because of his increased mass? But I really don't know.

[iceman977th]

I can see why he didn't stop for them. They couldn't see his rotating beacon because he was going too fast...

[TheDivineWinds]

Sunny D Commercial.

[CynicalVision]

Sure doesn't look like he's going faster than light.

[Magnetbrainn]

The cat's alive, let's go to dinner.

[SenorConsolero]

The Big Bang Theory!

[djsplashmaster]

whats in the box? a cat some drugs and an atom

Fry: is the cat alive or dead?

Alive or Dead damn it

[sxcsKiTzYkitty]

i've came to the conclusion that the cat IS definitely alive.I think. i can't tell the difference between life or death, since i have no life.

[andreww1212]

Upon taking quantum mechanics, I have almost died laughing from this.

[MetalicAtheist]

I love quantum mechanics, and I love Futurama. This is my favorite moment from the whole show. like andreww1212 said, it's brilliant and hilarious. They never cease to disappoint.

[Katana991]

I heard about that cat theory, I just have a hard time understanding what it's about, only something that has to do with a paradox. Does anyone know another way of explaining it?

[ravekid23]

@Katana991 The cat is put in a box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing it. Once the box is closed the device is activated, but until the box opened you will not know whether the cat is alive of dead.

At this point the cat is said to be in a super position (both alive and dead), because neither outcome can be known. Once the box is opened you will know what happened collapsing these 2 possibilities into 1 definitive outcome.

[Katana991]

@ravekid23 That sounds kind of cruel...

[simonjeste]

@ravekid23 I thought opening the box it was a 50% chance of finding a dead cat, and a 50% chance of finding Gwyneth Paltrow's severed head.

:confused:

[ravekid23]

@simonjeste No, no, you're confusing this with that other experiment, "If a tree falls on Gwyneth Paltrow in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does she make a noise?"

[antiHUMANDesigns]

@ravekid23 Would it not be true to say that anything you cannot observe is in a super position, because you cannot know if a critical quantum event has occured to it, which might have changed its state?

In the event that you think I'm messing with you, let me tell you beforehand that I'm not. I really want an answer.

[kwnutty]

The REAL answer to Schrodinger's Cat paradox: you get a very angry cat.

[MidnightSt]

I watched this part of futurama while i was really stoned and it absolutely blew my mind, it was awesome

[andreww1212]

I just learned quantum mechanics in school and found this absolutely brilliant yet hilarious.

[MicroMurderMachine]

EPIC LOL

[catsrsuper]

THERES ALSO ALOT OF DRUGS IN THERE, OINK

[Notthespleen]

Best tron refrance ever!

[PieProductionsJL]

this video is the only good video on the internet that hasn't been disliked.

[MuonRay]

"There's also a lot of drugs in there" Lol.

[HeyItsJonaveil]

I shall drink Sunny D for now on.

[SurvivalistSong]

99% of youtubers are too fuckin dumb too understand over 70% of the puns and jokes in this clip

[ktroha011]

Wow their spoofing off of Tron

[darkmater4tm]

I'm sensing there are more puns in this than I got

[EXRazeBurn]

Drugs eh? I guess Schrodinger's off to...

*dons a David Caruso mask, cheap suit, and 5 dollar gas station market sunglasses*

...Prism!

YYYEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!

*Dashs onto waiting fan boat seconds behind angry mob of people with IQs above 120*

=3

[blenderpanzi]

Except that Schrödinger didn't believe that a cat would be in a superposition of dead and alive. He invented this thought experiment in an attempt to ridicule quantum physics.

[nkdamn]

This is hilarious. But finish scene from movie "Seven" comes to my mind right now. "What's in a box? WHAT IS IN A BOX?!"

[BS4Tactful]

Futurama is the show for intelligent people that Big Bang Theory pretends to be.

[Tromafan101]

@BS4Tactful amen, brotha.

[EXRazeBurn]

Meanwhile on Family Guy:

Peter: Yeah that's what they said about Hendrik Lorentz

*insert filler clip*

Hendrik Lorentz: Oh cmon! If you didn't know who Benjamin Disraeli was, I know you've got no clue who I am!

*Peter walks into the clip*

Peter: Sure we do!

Lorentz: Really...name ONE contribution of mine to humanity.

Peter: Erm...uh...You invented the windmill, right?

Lorentz: OUT!!!

=3

[drzoidburgrocks]

That was the best two minutes of my life!

;'-( Im so sad

[freakyanimegal8]

I feel like such a nerd that I actually get this joke in its enterity

[adelnhanna]

i love 1:21

[kirant]

Ah, Futurama...a test of how many science jokes you can compile at one time.

[Karash770]

If he's moving faster than light, how come he can hear the siren... and SEE the siren?

[HydroMonsoon]

@Karash770 And most importantly, why did it seem like the car was going WAY slower than the speed of light?

[Xuldarinar]

@HydroMonsoon in a Bose-Einstein Condensate the speed of light is 38 miles per hour.

[GiratinaofFury]

For all intents and purposes, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead within the box. Although, he was using this to justify killing cats.

[TheStrongBadMan]

@GiratinaofFury Weren't you paying attention to the video? He was using it as an excuse to transport drugs.

[0Cazador]

It should be noted that this video should be watched backwards, as Schrodinger was moving faster than light.

[phunkyphantom619]

@0Cazador just because you move faster than light doesnt mean that time would go backwards.. they are 2 diferent things

[nygge]

So... much... win... :D

[carlosqm618]

This is one of the greatest moments in all the history of animation xD

[feathero3]

0:24

So Circuit City returns in the year 3000? Good to know.

[ricardotorress43]

OMFG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL XD

[Anaivpstar]

buenisimo

[chiga93]

I laughed my ass off during the entire clip! Very nice

[KjFourFive]

Best 2 minutes of Futurama ever. Cheers for the upload!

[kefallo]

@KjFourFive You're welcome dude :)

[litescript]

@kefallo Proper grammar! What's this doing on the Internet?

[SixtyNineWoodstock]

@kefallo Yes, the best two minutes of Futurama ever, and it only happened in a minute and fifty seven seconds.
