the ultraviolet catastrophe
Random things I have learned from Schrödinger's Kittens:

• The Copenhagen interpretation is old and busted.
  
• The universe is either real or non-local. TOTALLY NOT BOTH. (Real mean it exists when you're not looking at it. Non-local means that shit can somehow go faster than light.)
• This one time John von Neumann was like HIDDEN-VARIABLE THEORIES ARE IMPOSSIBLE and everyone was like OKAY YOU'RE SMART SO WE BELIEVE YOU and then later this guy was like PILOT WAVE???? and found out that hidden-variable theories can work if you accept non-locality.
• Einstein didn't know about non-Euclidean geometry until after he finished the special theory of relativity and if he had done is damn math homework he maybe could have figured out the general theory sooner.
• Quarks are a social construct.
• Quantum Electrodynamics is the most totally awesome scientific theory ever except for the fact that it gives you some infinites that you have to get rid of by dividing by infinite and then it works perfectly but still you're fucking cheating.
• Look at a CD. See the rainbowy shit? QED AT WORK.
• The theories of relativity contain square roots, and time is a negative dimension so that makes a negative square root, which gives us the singularity. BUT if you use imaginary numbers the big bang (singularity) doesn't occur. Yeah what.
• Inertia: when you think about it, it's FUCKING INSANE.
• If you watch a quantum pot it literally doesn't boil.
• There is no way to predict the orbits of three bodies. SERIOUSLY. Two? YES. Three? NO. Eight jillion? STILL NO.
  

If I mischaracterized anything apologies.

In other news, California is gunna let those faggots get gay married! Damn libruls!
