Are you guys serious the cat obviously wrote the paper and just needed the Professor human for credibility. This is just like that movie with the rat in the chef hat , but it's a cat and a physicist
-
I think you mean Raccacoonie, the raccoon?
-
Cattenheimer.
-
Do you think it was a cat in the hat

He does exude an air of competence and arrogance in equal measure. Clearly tenured.

I would too, like to speak to the co-author

That's a long lasting tradition to use "we" even in solo authored papers. I believe even Newton did this

If our knowledge is based on our forebears, it would always be we.

Yup, that was a requirement for most papers at my uni. We also use the plural you to show respect, even when talking to a single person.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition 😆

This is totally valid. Rubber duck debugging is a thing. Heck, I've literally been a "Rubber Duck" for more than one person. I'm sure that Chester heard enough of the theory of the paper to claim the title of "
Rubber DuckLive Cat Debugger."

Sure, it's a cute story, but what about prof's grad students sitting in the background with weepy eyes?
-
They should know better than to be where the public can see them

Anyone have an recent example of FDC Willard being thanked in a paper? I couldn't find any, sadly
-
There are some listed on the Wikipedia page, which also contains this gem in the 'quick facts' section.
Known for. First cat to co-author a physics paper
-
But I guess we can have "FDC Willard numbers" in the same way we can have Erdős numbers, right?

The referenced paper

damn, I thought there would be a pawprint

The pawprint we were all looking for.

It would have been a really hot topic of discussion if his last name had been Schrödinger.
-
how is it that cats make everything better?
-
By being perfect wonderful creatures. Duh.

Reminds me of Yuri Knorozov and his cat Asya
-
This makes me happy
-
Find and replace "I" with "we"? Nah, we adding the kitty
-
that's how you end up with dawizards
-
Isn't "I" considered poor form? I was taught to always write in passive but "we" is kind of the accepted exception.
