0:51 Lorentz Invariance The laws of physics are the same for any observer at any time Going faster than the speed of light is the joke since nothing can go faster than the speed of light, unless you were to break the laws of physics
Really though, if he was going faster than the speed of light and yet hadn't traveled the appropriate distance, that actually would be a violation of Lorentz Invariance. Light should be able to circle the earth 7 times per second. Meaning in the time it took them to even read the radar gun, he should have already circled the earth a dozen times or more. Yet he hadn't even made it 3 blocks. Which would mean the gun and the operator saw two different results from the same perspective, and then upon following him, he was able to see them in a mirror, despite traveling faster than the light that was hitting the mirror, another violation. Honestly though, of all the laws you'd need to break to travel over C while driving through downtown NYC, Lorentz Invariance isn't even the worst one.

Well, they _did_ raise the speed of light that one time... Maybe they kept "c" at its old value to keep math consistent, and just raised the cosmic speed limit to higher than "c"?
"It's a superposition of both states until you open it and collapse the wave function." "Says you." Just how dismissive he is of that always makes me laugh.
It's because the cat is in fact alive or dead depending if it consumed the poison or just died from lack of air or starvation/dehydration. Whether the box is open or closed doesn't matter. If you were locked in a box for 3 days you may die. Whether the box is opened before you die or not is the only factor in you living or dying. A lack of knowledge of a thing does not negate the existence of that thing. I have no knowledge of you reading this or what you are doing, the fact that I don't know doesn't mean you aren't doing it. Quantum mechanics is simply a pretentious way of saying that someone doesn't have object permanence.

_The box released a cat in every possible state between alive and dead._ _And unfortunately for Fry... Every one of those states is UNBELIEVABLY PISSED OFF._
I do not know for certain why, but for some reason I thought "is that Shrödinger?" when I first saw him looking at the box. And of course, I got h´the Tron reference of "Circuit City".
Everyone's always too focused on whether the cat is alive or dead to question if it might be pissed off at being shoved in a box.
Or just plain out of it's mind because of all the drugs in there.
