"Mr. Schrödinger, Please Leave Cats Alone!" is a guest article introduced by Glenn Borchardt and published on 8 May 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
The piece is by Rudolf Vrnoga, a retired theoretical physicist trained at the University of Sarajevo, reprinted with permission from Academia.edu. Borchardt presents it as an example of a physicist outside the mainstream who has kept his sense of humour: a tongue-in-cheek treatment of what Vrnoga regards as the inanities of quantum mechanics, and of the supposed division between a macro-world governed by Newtonian and Einsteinian mechanics and a micro-world governed by something else.
