Theoretical Physics for Cats

Schrödinger was one of us.

Tuition: $4,800 or 24 easy payments of $247.

A rigorous introduction to the theoretical frameworks that govern the universe, taught from the feline perspective — that is, from inside a cardboard box. Students graduate with a conceptual grasp of quantum mechanics and an improved tolerance for confined spaces.

Prerequisite: must be able to distinguish a laser pointer from a photon. No refunds if you cannot.

What You'll Learn

  • Derive wave-particle duality using only a cardboard box and a snack
  • Explain why you are both asleep and awake at 3 a.m.
  • Calculate the escape velocity from a lap
  • Identify the Higgs boson (mostly through process of elimination)
  • Publish a paper nobody will peer-review
  • Correctly pronounce 'eigenvector' on the first try

Program Syllabus

Week 1
Classical Mechanics & You

Newton's Three Laws, interpreted as three reasons to knock something off a table.

Week 2
Thermodynamics in the Sunbeam

Entropy, equilibrium, and why the radiator is your natural home.

Week 3
Quantum Superposition

Schrödinger. Closed containers. Please do not volunteer.

Week 4
Electromagnetism

Static cling, carpet, and the feline contribution to Faraday's work.

Week 5
Relativity

Time dilation as it applies to mealtime.

Week 6
String Theory

Strings. Lots of them. We also teach the physics behind them.

Week 7
Cosmology

The origin of the universe; the origin of the red dot.

Week 8
Capstone & Defense

Present original research to a committee of three faculty cats and one confused human.

Dr. Mittens, PhD
Chair of Theoretical Physics

Dr. Mittens holds a PhD from MIT and a second PhD from an accredited online university in the Caribbean. She has published work in Nature and also in Catster. Her 2021 paper, 'Schrödinger, Reconsidered,' argued the cat was fine the whole time, which was well received.

Research Interests: Quantum mechanics, laser pointers, dark matter.
