Physics and Felines

[jducoeur]

Experiment: feline subject J (Jedi) is in the great room at the far end of the house. Human (me) opens window W in the bedroom because it is a nice day. Measure time required for J to reach W to look out it and sniff. Time appears to be zero. Conclusion: felines can violate relativity and achieve faster-than-light speeds when sufficiently motivated.

(Yes, yes, there are other possible explanations. Jedi might be clairvoyant, for example, knowing that I am *going* to open the window, and thus has set out for the bedroom before I began opening it. Or he might be employing some form of quantum tunneling. Either way, though, it's a fine topic for future research...)

There is, of course, Prior Art. It appears that the futon/sofa in my living room may be a wormhole terminus accessible only by cats, as they frequently will appear on our laps without any discernible transit. We'll find ourselves skritching their ears without them having been in the room a moment before.
