Scientists were not shocked when they opened the box to see Schrodinger's cat, famously assumed to be a thought experiment, dead this past Sunday. Garrett Wilbertson, one of the researchers assigned to the cat, says “Yeah, I mean, it's a cat. They live for like 20 years at most. What did you expect?”

Others are still searching for answers, such as Meril Gabbitz, the head of the team: “I, I just, I saw the lid open... and I saw him, and the catnip was all over the place... . . . absolutely not- no, obviously there were no cameras. What an awful question.”

Regardless of the cause, this news has shaken many people to their core. Twitter CEO and tech billionaire Elon Musk recently tweeted a few thoughts:

“Growing up, I read the encyclopedia to become smarter. I loved thinking about parallel dimensions while learning about that cat. I hope you are hazing cheezburger in heaven, old friend. 😻🍔”

Musk has pledged to name his 25th child after the cat, which would make the baby's name Schrodinger Cat Musk. Elon vows to keep this child alive forever in tribute to the cat. It's uncertain whether or not Musk actually gets the point of the experiment.

Crimestoppers is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can prove they saw the cat before his untimely demise.
