You obviously don't speak geek.

 

Hey now!

No one said anything about geek in the pejorative. It's modern slang (nowadays at least) for people with a particular enthusiasm for certain genres, tech, or sciences.

Yeah, I know. "So how's that different from the nerds back in the 80s?" Because they're not nerds anymore. Well, not ALL of them.

A very simplified, Reader's Digest version of the Schrodinger's Cat Paradox is this:

(I am not a physicist. I have at best a rudimentary understanding of more basic principles. If I make an error, don't sue me)

Inside a box that cannot be looked into, you have a cat with a trip mechanism that can kill the cat. Said mechanism can go off immediately, or not in many centuries or anywhere in between. There's no way of knowing if or when it will trigger. So while the box is closed, you may consider the cat both dead and alive simultaneously. It's not until you open the box and verify one or the other that the cat is considered only one of the options. It's now either alive or dead.

It's a tad more complex than that, and is useful for explaining certain things in quantum theory.

My initial joke was because I didn't see the 1st half. Therefore said cushions could exist or not (from my perspective). It wasn't until I looked (watched the second half) that I saw there were no cushions.

 

I wish it worked that way for me. I could come home from work blissfully unaware and enjoy the game as if it was live.

Sadly, there's no way for me to go unspoiled. The cat keeps calling me from the damned box!
