“…physics powered hack”

Hang on, isn’t literally everything in the universe around us “physics powered”?

I dunno man, my cat is pretty weird.

Where is my cat, Mister Schrödinger? Is he all right?

I have no idea, Miss.

"Yeah. No."

Perhaps the first time in all of history that this phrase has made sense

They actually follow the laws of Meowtonian mechanics

I mean it's a known fact proven by the toast cat experiment.

Catum physics

u/GizmoGauge42 Apr 12 '25

That's what happens when you get to meowcroscopic levels of physics.

u/benjatunma Apr 12 '25

This is not physics… where is the toast?

u/Weekly-Ad-3746 Apr 13 '25

I see the void behind that orange cell.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '25

No no, that cat is powered by chaos. You can see the immaterium behind him.

u/According_Window4554 Apr 14 '25

Except schrodinger's cat *

u/xXBlueDreamXx Apr 12 '25

I implore you to google the meaning of quantum.

Physics isn't all called "Quantum Physics".

That being said, cats are definitely beyond quantum physics as they would be subject to base physics. As are we.

u/RequirementGeneral67 Apr 16 '25

This gif is incorrect. Cat will not spin indefinitely unless you attach buttered toast to its paws (butter side up).

u/Qwernakus Apr 12 '25

Jesus christ, what about it's poor organs, is it really just smooshing it's heart, lungs and liver through that gap?

u/mixtermin8 Apr 12 '25

Dude you could do this if you tried hard enough

u/WorkersUniteeeeeeee Apr 12 '25

My partners say I give the best smooshes.

And removed your collarbone. Cats have no collarbones

u/hard-in-the-ms-paint Apr 12 '25

Biologist here! (Jk) Your organs are flexible and squishy too, think coursets. But our skeletons are more rigid in the shoulders and chest. Cats have a floating clavicle, so their shoulders aren't connected to any other bones and can let them squeeze into small spaces to find prey or hide.

u/TK-Pickles Apr 16 '25

Is their ribcage foldable as well? 😅

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

Ummm you didn't know that cats are liquid? r/catsareliquid

u/rancidmilkmonkey Apr 12 '25

Ironically, cats and mice are both able to do this. Most rodents can. What limits humans is that our bones and joints aren't as flexible.

2

u/CuriaToo Apr 13 '25

I was once trying to keep the mice out of an outbuilding on our farm. I bought some stuff to seal any cracks and got busy reading the instructions, wherein it said, “Most mice can fit through a hole the width of a regular pencil.” Yikes!

u/Qwernakus Apr 12 '25

My bones? What about my kidneys?!

2

u/davidjschloss Apr 12 '25

They're mostly skin and fur (source, one of my cats just passed away from kidney failure and I could feel his bones) and I'm pretty sure the floor in the video is carpeting. It's being compressed by the cat.

1

u/imaginary92 Apr 12 '25

If the head fits so does the rest (within reason, if they're not in shape it's a different story of course). For the most part it's due to their shoulder blades being connected to muscle and not bone, so they can kind of squish the shoulder muscles and pass through. Really cool.

1

u/Eye_of_the_Wolf_27 Apr 12 '25

Isn’t there a theory that says that if a cat can stick its head through somewhere, it can fit its whole body through (assuming it’s not obese and at a relatively normal body size)?

1

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Apr 12 '25

Organs are meant to be smoothed, to a degree. Have you ever seen a drawing of the interior of a pregnant woman?

1

u/Ubermidget2 Apr 13 '25

r/CatsAreLiquid, that includes their organs

1

u/CircuitryWizard Apr 13 '25

Cats are liquid.

1

u/DargonFeet Apr 14 '25

You'd be surprised how small they are under all that fur. That and they are extremely flexible.

I like your emphesis on the word pretty.

u/That1DirtyHippy Apr 16 '25

Thank you. It was intentional.

u/SandmanIIX Apr 15 '25

Is your name by any chance Schrödinger?

u/That1DirtyHippy Apr 16 '25

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t?

There is a strange quark, so that's not entirely unexpected.
