spoke to my girls about writing Children's books

they said give it a go so I'm thinking about it

they remember me writig a new piece and reading it back to them

and asking for marks out of ten

see what they suffered

but you can learn form anything

I had a picture of Totoro our cat in a box

so I randomly Google Cat in a Box meaning

It came up with result about science

Being alive and dead simulataneously

so when I mentioned it to mu daughters

they had studied it in Philosophy A level

its also a science thing

SEE BELOW AT END

So that's how I randomly learn things

Clever People learn the hard way

I just stumble into everything

"Cat in the box" is a reference to Schrödinger's cat, a famous thought experiment in quantum physics that illustrates the idea that particles can be in multiple states simultaneously until they are observed: 

 

• Explanation

  The experiment imagines a cat in a sealed box with a mechanism that could kill it. Until the box is opened, the cat is considered to be both alive and dead. This is because the cat's fate is linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. 

   
• Purpose

  Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created the experiment in 1935 to criticize the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The Copenhagen interpretation states that the state of an atomic particle is unknown until it is observed. Schrödinger's cat was intended to show that this interpretation was flawed. 

   
Impact
The experiment has become a cult classic, inspiring T-shirts, memes, and many articles. It has also led to other ways of thinking about quantum theory, such as the many worlds interpretation. 
 

"Cat in the Box" may also refer to a quantum trick-taking card game for 2–5 players. In this game, the color of a card is not determined until it is played.
