Thank you.
I asked for Schrödinger's answer.


In that case, it both The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and not The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

paraphrasing:
is there a physics test(s) that can determine if something is dead?

Ha! That is great!
Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today, I wish I wish he'd go away.
