"Hello, everyone. Welcome back. Today we'll be learning about quantum mechanics, which refers to the study of the way in which molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, and other subatomic particles interact with each other."

She went on to explain the theory, as well as the interactions with other subjects they'd studied, as well as its practical applications.

Then, she placed a sealed box on the table. "Inside this box is a cat. This cat may be either alive or dead, or perhaps both. At what point does this cat cease to be alive? Can it be alive and dead at the same time, if we don't know what the state is?"

"It'll be fine," Sam said, trying to reassure Sam. "He's asleep and the box is big enough to have lots of oxygen, plus there's a hole in the bottom. You're so sure that he's dead, though. You didn't think he could be alive?"

"You said it could be dead!" Sam said. "I thought it was in danger!"
