Down the Rabbit Hole

Today we are going to talk about the proverbial rabbit hole. For me and the other Cats, it means lunch with a juicy hind leg. This is not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about things that are foreign to your belief system and difficult to understand like quantum physics.

When we talk about things like “there is no such thing as time or space” it becomes difficult to understand because we are so oriented with time. We wait patiently for our favorite TV show to come, constantly looking at our watch. For someone to say that time does not exist becomes hard to swallow. Then the so called enlightened New-Agers talk about past lives and future lives and kind of freak out when I tell them that there can’t be past lives because that supports there being this thing called time.

Getting lost down the rabbit hole means you are unable to even discuss these things rationally because they require words that do not exist in our language. How about the saying “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s not a Cat around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

Well, the wacky, wonderful world of Quantum Physics says that the tree does not exist if there is not a Cat around to observe it and the Cat’s subconscious mind determines whether there is a tree and whether it is standing, fallen or even rotten when the Cat gets there and looks at the area. Crazy enough for you? Well. That’s what happens. You may have noticed that when a house or building is abandoned, it deteriorates more rapidly. This is because Quantum Physics says things age or not by the attention you put on it and how much you love it or not. In fact, Quantum Physics says that nothing exists unless an observer sees it. This does not mean that when you are away from home and can’t see your house that when the walls disappear it will get hot or cold in the room depending on the weather. It means that when you come home your subconscious mind determines everything - even whether your air conditioner is broken or working. Think this Cat’s insane? Don’t look at me. All I am doing is passing on to you what the Physicists are saying. Now are we far enough down the rabbit hole for you?
