| Apr 15, 2016 at 6:25 | comment | added | AncientSwordRage♦ | @user14111 because it deals with uncertainty between two states something Schrodinger is well known for. I guess no one knows about Zhuangzi (first I've heard of them). | |
| Apr 15, 2016 at 0:07 | comment | added | user14111 | @AncientSwordRage Why do they (TV Tropes, I guess?) call it "Schrodinger's butterfly"? Why isn't it Zhuangzi's butterfly, since he's the guy who wrote about his butterfly dream? | |

The details were a bit different, the alter ego was a knight, not a prince, he was imprisoned in a dungeon by a wizard, and rescued by a woman who also had an alter ego in the other world. | |
