Tell that to your imaginary Gollum that claims without that stuff, the cat is dead. lol
Comment on Schrodinger's Precious
neatchee@piefed.social 21 hours agono, 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

….. it’s a sealed box with no holes ….. the cat is very dead or will be very soon

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
