A Collection of Posts From the Schrodinger's Cat Blog Featuring Updated Footnotes

About this book

Schrodinger's Cat was a science blog set out to debunk the science misinformation that was and is rampant on social media, as well as be a credible and trusted source to answer all of readers' science questions, such as:

- What makes fireworks different colours?

- How do birds find their way when migrating?

- What is a GMO?

- Is it possible to recreate Frankenstein's Monster?

- What causes that Thanksgiving day "turkey coma"?

- What is healthier? Eating meat or being vegan?

- Is green energy more efficient, and how much would a city need to power itself?

- Can sunscreen really give you cancer?

- How far away are we from having a zoo full of extinct animals?

- Is the science and technology in my favourite movie/video game even possible?

- Did they actually find water on Mars?

- Why are the InSight and Parker Solar Probe missions so important?

All of this and more are answered in "From The Vault of Schrodinger's Cat", a collection of readers' favourite posts from the beloved blog, Schrodinger's Cat, including footnotes of updates of how the science has progressed since the post was released and extensive works cited and resources to provide the same level of transparency, dedication to fact-checking, and search for knowledge that the readers of Schrodinger's Cat have come to know.
