The Baby's Room

Domingo: In a crate sits a cat and a particle that kills the cat, with a possibility of 50%, within an hour. As long as the crate is closed, how could you know if the cat is dead or alive?

Juan: I don't know.

Domingo: Nobody knows. Actually the cat is dead and alive at the same time. The person that opens the crate decides which option becomes reality.

Juan: I don't understand...

Domingo: No human understands. Those are only speculations. But the quantum physics brought men to the moon. That is reality. Like you and me, or this whiskey.

Juan: Does that mean we could assume parallel realities do exist?

Domingo: In the '50s yes, nowadays nobody believes that. I only believe what I see, and I don't see anything. A parapsychologist would say, what happens in that house is a fraction between possibilities. One of them happens over and over again, a man that kills his wife and his kid. Every day. At the same time, and forever.

Juan: What can be done to stop that?

Domingo: Nothing. You can watch but you can't interact. If you try to save the cat, you eventually end up in the crate.
