Question
When Jack H. Hetherington was told that a physics paper that he was writing should use "I" instead of "we" because he was the only author, he added F. D. C. Willard as a coauthor rather than change the paper. For 10 points each:
[10e] Willard was one of these animals who was listed as coauthor on several physics papers. Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment about one of these animals that may be found to be dead or alive.
ANSWER: cats [or Schrödinger's cat]
[10h] Willard's most notable work concerned the solid form of this specific substance, whose temperature unusually falls when it is compressed in a procedure called Pomeranchuk cooling.
ANSWER: helium-3 [or He-3; prompt on helium or He by asking "which isotope?"]
[10m] Willard's first paper, which he signed with his paw print, specifically concerned solid helium-3 with this cubic lattice structure, in which there are two atoms within each unit cell.
ANSWER: body-centered cubic [or bcc]
