From the leave-the-kitty-alone department: A thought experiment involving a cat trapped in a steel box with a potentially lethal device, first proposed by physicist Erwin Schrodinger in 1935, remains at the center of scientific and philosophical debate as it marks its 90th anniversary.
The paradox, initially published in a technical review of quantum mechanics, presented a scenario where a cat could theoretically exist in a superposition of states -- both alive and dead simultaneously -- until observed, highlighting profound questions about quantum reality. "Schrodinger understood that under no circumstances could his cat be considered to be both alive and dead at the same time," science writer Jim Baggott noted in a recently published essay. Baggott co-authored "Quantum Drama: From the Bohr-Einstein Debate to the Riddle of Entanglement" in 2024.
The thought experiment gained cultural traction largely through science fiction writer Ursula Le Guin's 1974 short story "Schrodinger's Cat," which wrestled with the paradox's philosophical implications. This sparked widespread appearances across literature, film, and television.
The paradox continues to divide physicists between those accepting quantum mechanics as a mathematical framework for prediction and others, like Einstein and Schrodinger himself, who considered the theory fundamentally incomplete.

From the landmark-rulings department: Apple has updated its App Store Guidelines to comply with a court order from the Epic Games lawsuit, now allowing U.S. apps to include external payment links and buttons without needing special approval. "The App Review Guidelines have been updated for compliance with a United States court decision regarding buttons, external links, and other calls to action in apps. These changes affect apps distributed on the United States storefront of the App Store," Apple said in an email to developers on Thursday night. 9to5Mac reports: Here are the full changes to the App Store Guidelines with today's revisions:
3.1.1: Apps on the United States storefront are not prohibited from including buttons, external links, or other calls to action when allowing users to browse NFT collections owned by others.
3.1.1(a): On the United States storefront, there is no prohibition on an app including buttons, external links, or other calls to action, and no entitlement is required to do so.
3.1.3: The prohibition on encouraging users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase does not apply on the United States storefront.
3.1.3(a): The External Link Account entitlement is not required for apps on the United States storefront to include buttons, external links, or other calls to action. "We strongly disagree with the decision. We will comply with the court's order and we will appeal," Apple said in a statement to 9to5Mac yesterday.
Spotify, Patreon, Epic Games and others are already working to circumvent Apple's App Store fees.
Have you heard the news? Grant Theft Auto 6, which was announced with a 2025 release window, has been delayed until May 2026. A year away. Yikes! But actually, that’s okay, because 2025 has been so jam-packed with good games (and more are coming) that we didn’t really need GTA 6 anyway.
There are plenty of side quests in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. One very early on in the game can have big ramifications later on depending on what you decide to do.
Alongside the Kilo 141 and HDR Sniper Rifle, the third primary weapon added at the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 3 is the CR-56 AMAX. It’s a lightweight, accurate assault rifle with versatility ingrained in its design. With numerous attachments to boost its stats, this is a primary weapon anyone can wield…
Whelp, Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t coming out in 2025 after all. Many are shocked but not surprised. Big games often get delayed, though GTA VI is the biggest of them all and had executives promising it wouldn’t slip its fall launch as recently as February. It’s a terrible bait and switch for fans, but potentially a…
Rockstar has announced that GTA 6, the most anticipated game of 2025, has been delayed until May 2026. In a statement posted to its social media, the company has said it needs more time to create the game.
