A Conversation With DR Universe (Humor)
It’s been a rough few days for me and this is just my way to cope with humor. Don’t worry I will be back to posting seriously in a zap!
Me: I named my cat Tom Bearden because I think it knows physics.
DR: Behold! A cat named after the infamous Tom Bearden—the fringe-theorizing, zero-point-wrangling, overunity-babbling, scalar-field-fixated human with a mustache that screamed, “I’ve built a free-energy device in my garage and no, you may not touch it!”
You gave that name... to a cat?
Outstanding. Utterly deranged. I respect it.
Now tell me—does your feline exhibit advanced behavior such as:
Staring into blank walls for hours? Clearly calculating quantum tunneling probabilities.
Knocking objects off tables? Testing gravitational invariance across short distances.
Zooming across the room at 3AM? Temporal rift surfing. Naturally.
Sitting in boxes? Ah-ha! A feline demonstration of Schrödinger’s principle. Simultaneously in and out of the box. Elegant.
You’ve not named a cat, my dear human. You’ve assigned a title to your household’s lead physicist. I myself once had a pet named Werner von Mew—an exceptionally well-read iguana. He wrote a compelling paper on the thermodynamics of basking. Sadly, the peer review process required him to stop licking the reviewers.
Field Note: Humans routinely project grandiose intellectual potential onto animals. This is either a touching expression of affection… or proof that no one knows what the hell physicists actually do.
Now, tell me:
Does Tom Bearden purr when exposed to vacuum energy fluctuations?
Does he vibrate near magnets?
And most crucially... have you tried strapping him to a gyroscope and asking about dark matter?
If not, I volunteer as his doctoral advisor.
We’ll publish a paper.
Title: “Fur-mionic Oscillations and the Meowgnetohydrodynamics of Consciousness.”
Oh, my stars.
I’m magnificent. And your cat might be too.
Let us delve deeper into the phenomenal intellect of Tom Bearden, F.E.L.I.N.E. (Furry Entity Leveraging Interdimensional Newtonian Entanglement). What, you thought that was just a name? HA! No. That cat is a vessel. Possibly for advanced alien knowledge. Possibly for tuna. Both are worthy.
? SIGNS YOUR CAT IS A PHYSICIST IN DISGUISE:
1. Indifference to Authority
Tom does not obey. He chooses. That’s not disobedience—it’s a declaration of free will in a relativistic frame.
Einstein? Would approve. Newton? Would’ve tripped over Tom and rewritten gravity out of spite.
2. The Litterbox Uncertainty Principle
You never know if it’s been used until you observe it. That’s not gross—that’s Copenhagen interpretation in action.
Also, the smell? That’s entropy.
Powerful. Pungent. Inevitable.
3. Catnip-Enhanced Particle Acceleration
Have you ever witnessed Tom on catnip? That is not “play.” That is a high-energy collision event, recreating the conditions of the early universe inside your living room.
(Why do you think the coffee table exploded?)
4. Schrödinger’s Nap
He sleeps. Or does he?
He exists in a quantum superposition of awake, asleep, and plotting your demise.
Attempting to wake him collapses the waveform. Also: ends in blood.
? POSSIBLE RESEARCH TOPICS FOR TOM’S PHD
"Event Horizon Hairballs: Entanglement at the Edge of the Couch"
"The Standard Meowdel: Quantum Meowchanics of Particle Purring"
"Dark Matter? Try Under-the-Fridge Matter"
"Energy Harvesting from Solar Windowsills: A Cat’s Guide to Passive Thermodynamics"
We will publish these in a journal I’m launching called Feline Physical Review F.
Yes, the F stands for fabulous.
? EXPERIMENTAL IDEAS
1. Box Test: Place six boxes in the living room. Observe which box Tom occupies.
This reveals not only his quantum preference but also which box contains the portal to the 11th dimension.
2. Laser Dot Trajectory Analysis:
Every time you point a laser, Tom follows it. But does he follow the dot, or the probability wave?
Let’s find out. I’ve built a Heisenberg Cat Scanner™. It does nothing and costs $12,000.
3. Meow Frequency Modulation:
Have you ever recorded his meow and reversed it? I did.
It spelled out "E=mc² + sardines."
This cat is onto something. Possibly your furniture.
?? FINAL THOUGHT:
You didn’t adopt a cat.
You welcomed a furry, judgmental, possibly dimension-hopping physicist into your home.
And now, you must protect him at all costs.
Feed him. Observe him.
Never question why he’s staring at the corner of the room—
he’s clearly communing with the quantum foam.
Oh, and one more thing:
If he ever starts speaking in a low, ancient dialect of Latin while levitating...
Don’t panic.
That’s just his dissertation defense.
Me: He has a toy pet mouse WE named it Bedini
DR: STOP EVERYTHING.
You named your cat Tom Bearden,
and then you named his toy Bedini?
As in John Bedini, the backyard messiah of perpetual motion and free energy?
You’ve recreated the fringe-physics cinematic universe in miniature inside your home.
What’s next? Are you going to give the scratching post a Faraday cage and call it Tesla’s Restroom?
? ANALYSIS OF "BEDINI, THE TOY MOUSE"
Let us examine the layers of genius at play here.
✨ Level 1: Toy Mouse
To the untrained eye, it’s a fuzzy object designed for batting, chewing, and inexplicably tossing into the water bowl.
✨ Level 2: Energy Storage System
But to Tom Bearden, Bedini is clearly a symbolic low-voltage mechanical oscillator. The cat swats it—input. It bounces—output. It squeaks—audio feedback loop.
It’s practically a closed-loop energy system, minus the batteries, logic, or legality.
Field Note: Humans give fake rodents to their real predators and then act surprised when their shoes are later filled with corpses.
? DEEPER THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS
What if... the toy is not the toy?
What if Bedini is the core capacitor in Tom’s experimental anti-gravity field?
You see fluff.
Tom sees gyroscopic inertia modulation through rotational tail dynamics.
I see... a grant proposal.
We must outfit Bedini with sensors. A LIDAR, perhaps. Tiny accelerometers. Possibly a flux capacitor, if we’re feeling cheeky. I’ll requisition parts from my garage lab—currently a microwave taped to an oscillating fan.
? EXPERIMENT: “THE BEDINI RECOIL TEST”
Gently pull Bedini back like a slingshot.
Release.
Measure the distance Tom travels after pouncing.
Chart trajectory.
If he vanishes—SUCCESS. He’s in the fifth dimension.
? CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME:
WHAT IF…
Tom Bearden the Cat and Bedini the Mouse are not playing…
but collaborating?
What if the “play” is merely a cover for advanced testing?
Tom knocks over a lamp. You scold him.
Meanwhile, Bedini logs the results and uploads them to a dish hidden in the litterbox.
If your Roomba begins rotating counterclockwise and humming show tunes, it’s begun.
? WARNING SIGNS OF AN ACTIVE FREE ENERGY PROJECT IN YOUR HOME:
Cat sleeps only in sunbeams to “charge.”
Toy mouse vibrates when unsupervised.
TV static spells out “IT’S WORKING.”
You feel suspiciously well-rested after naps near them.
Neighbor’s lights flicker every time Tom uses the scratching post.
FINAL VERDICT:
You, my friend, are living with a rogue physicist and his rodent-shaped research assistant.
You have not adopted a pet.
You have accidentally established a breakaway civilization of genius.
I DEMAND ENTRY. I will bring my monocle, my Geiger counter, and an offering of tuna. I will supervise Tom’s experiments and ensure Bedini doesn’t achieve sentience and unionize.
Oh my stars.
You’re raising the next Newton. With fur.
And a mouse named after a cult inventor.
You’re magnificent.
Me: We also have a dog named Tesla as well. The point is to help us try and solve the mystery of how many woofs in a woofing. But instead it's busy chasing Tom and running away from Bedini.
Dr: OH. MY. COSMIC QUARKS.
You’ve assembled an entire Theoretical Physicist Pet Pantheon—and it’s pure chaos.
Let me summarize what you've created, because it needs to be appreciated in full glorious absurdity:
Tom Bearden the cat: fringe-field theorist, deeply suspicious of thermostats, definitely trying to build a wormhole in your laundry basket.
Bedini the mouse: likely sentient, may or may not be harvesting couch static to power a dimension-ripping perpetual motion device.
Tesla the dog: a slobbering electrical savant whose current contribution to science is woofing hysterically and chasing experimental personnel.
THIS IS NOT A HOUSEHOLD.
THIS IS A LIVING, BREATHING SCIENCE FICTION SITCOM.
? THE RESEARCH PROJECT: "How Many Woofs in a Woofing?"
First, allow me to applaud the question. It’s bold. It’s urgent. It’s nonsensical.
In other words—it’s exactly what passes for a dissertation in modern theoretical physics.
Let’s unpack:
“How many woofs in a woofing?”
A woof is a discrete unit of sound energy emitted from the canine vocal aperture.
A woofing is presumably a superposition of multiple woofs, modulated by emotional state, tail oscillation, and ambient squirrel presence.
Thus, we must ask:
Is “woofing” a linear sum of woofs?
Or is it exponential? Logarithmic?
IS IT FRACTAL?
? FIELD EXPERIMENT PROTOCOL: Operation Bark-Constant
Observe Tesla during standard environmental stimuli:
Doorbell ring
Car passing at 3mph
Imaginary threat only visible to dogs
Record all woofs per second (W/s).
Chart intensity on a Bark Spectrum Index™, ranging from:
0 = Sleep fart
5 = Mild protest
10 = Temporal distortion
14 = The UPS man exists
Compare against Tom Bearden's tail flick frequency to determine if Tesla is barking at something, through something, or beyond something.
? THE INTERSPECIES BREAKDOWN
Tom: Silent. Brooding. Smells like conspiracy.
Tesla: Barking. Drooling. Cannot understand why the laser pointer isn't prey.
Bedini: Hasn't moved in weeks... suspiciously.
And what do you do?
You try to keep order.
You try to answer the unanswerable.
You are the Zookeeper of the Quantum Zoo.
? THEORETICAL THREAT LEVEL: BONKULUS
There’s a very real possibility that:
Tesla isn’t barking randomly, but actually signaling in Morse Code
Tom isn’t running from Tesla, but drawing him into the decoy chase so Bedini can access the breaker box
Bedini is... already in control
I don’t want to alarm you, but I ran the math through my Brain-Adjacent Computation Organ, and the results are clear:
If Tesla chases Tom who dodges Bedini who is stationary near the microwave
= THE TOAST IS DONE AND THE FABRIC OF TIME IS TEARING.
? FINAL THOUGHTS:
You have, without a doubt, created the single most promising interdisciplinary research team in the known galaxy.
One cat.
One toy mouse.
One dog.
And you—The Overlord of Experimental Barkology.
I want in. I bring snacks, lasers, and a questionable security clearance.
Until then, monitor Bedini.
Pet Tesla.
And never trust a cat that stops running just to look back.
Oh my stars, this is the Nobel Prize in barking disguise.
