First world problem! Doesn’t Hili know that only 12 cats understand that theory?
Hili: I have a problem.
A: What’s your problem?
Hili: I do not understand the theory of relativity.
In Polish:Hili: Mam problem.
Ja: Jaki problem?
Hili: Nie rozumiem teorii względności.
Well then I hope you understands quantum physics via the medium of Schroedingers cat.
Most cats understand the relativity of the food bowl. When the bowl is full, time moves quickly. When the bowl is empty, time moves slowly. Time is positively correlated to the amount of food in the bowl. QED.
Which one Hili?! Special or General? 😉
I don’t think he’s had the time or space to consider the gravity of the matter.
Or the original? (just plain “relativity”… Galileo)
Haha…maybe Hili should read Chad Orzel’s “How To Teach Relativity To Your D*G”.
12 cats!?
Let me see. Schroedinger’s cat makes 4-5 of those (1/2*9 lives), since quantum mechanics groks *everything*.
So who are the remaining 8? Hili’s next lives, perhaps.
Hili should start following some physicists on Twitter.
I’m sure that if Hili asked nicely, Emma would explain it to her.
But cats almost certainly understand quantum mechanics. Unlike humans. To paraphrase the quote…anyone claiming to understand quantum mechanics is lying.

It may be that twelve cats understand the theory of relativity, but according to the traditional story, only three people understand it. During an interview, a newspaper reporter remarked to Arthur Eddington that only three people (Eddington included) understood relativity. Eddington replied, “Who’s the third?”
względności
Now there is a word. A word of power and gravitas. Just to try to run it over an untutored tongue is to realise that this is a word first among equals.
I shall not try to discover how it is meant to be pronounced, that might be too powerful to take. That or it would seem less by association in my mind with some English word. Better to just admire it.
Do all cats know such words, or just Hili?
