Assuming you have not been living under a rock this whole time, you would be acutely aware of the crisis science currently finds itself in. However, there is a non zero probability that science is not completely in peril.

I managed to catch Rat Bastard #4 after 12 days of agonizing patience. At 06:36 PST the trap closed on him... With no clone in sight. That said, there was only a window of 24 minutes between the time the trap caught him, and me removing the trap from the area. There is still a remote probability that a clone was indeed created but just too quick to be captured on video... Time will tell - I have set the traps again.

When smart phones were initially released - and by that I mean the iPhone back in 2007, their cameras were not very good. In fact, they were down right horrible.

It was not a digital vs. analogue issue, as the Canon 1Ds Mark III was released at around the same time, and produced fabulous images that hold up perfectly to today's cameras.

It is said that if something happens once it is chance, if it happens twice it is coincidence and if it happens a third time it is a pattern. Continuing my quest to disturb the very fabric of quantum knowledge, I have now shown through mathematical induction that my hypothesis was correct: A rat can never be caught, just cloned. No matter how many times you repeat this process and capture the clone, another clone will take its place. Look for yourself. This is Rat #3 that was caught yesterday:

And Rat #4 was cloned the moment Rat #3's wave equation should have collapsed, but did not. One inside the trap, and one outside.

In the beginning there was nothing. Just blackness.

Then appeared the RAT BASTARD. Thus began an epic saga of man versus rodent...

Since man was an engineer, he decided to use his science and experience to trap said rodent. However, rodent was too clever as was alluded to before.
