Comment on Schrodinger's Precious

  no, the vile of poison and radioactive particle connected to a device that breaks the vile when it detects the particle’s decay is what makes the cat’s state probabilistic. Otherwise it’s just a cat in a box

    BTW, the state of the cat being probabilistic is meant to be absurd or paradoxical, since Schrodinger’s cat is supposed to be a thought experiment against quantum superposition.

      Yup. Turns out he was super wrong though and existence is just that fucked up at the quantum level

    Tell that to your imaginary Gollum that claims without that stuff, the cat is dead. lol
