    The point of the thought experiment is that a cat that is both alive and dead is absurd and clearly not what actually is happening. Schrödinger intended it to demonstrate that quantum mechanics was not a complete description of the universe, we’re still missing something(s).

      Thank you, schrödingers cat is one of those things that a bunch of people have heard of but it seems nobody actually understands

        It’s quantum science, yeah nobody actually understands it and schrödinger was one of first to publicly state that and while doing so helped people getting to understand what scientists have found out about the weird stuff that’s going on the quantum level

      That may have been his intention but the many worlds interpretation is still a valid theory considered by equally professional scientists.

      Personally i think when we are dealing with proper unknowns its best to not make any assumptions of what is normal/absurd at all. Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.

        Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.

        Sure that may definitely be the case. But in practice, that means we should be exhausting the comprehensible possibilities first. Many Worlds is an explanation of last resort.

      no a poison box is a quantum cat duplicator and we have found a way to let our beloved deceased kitties live again

        Yeah, but it also duplicates the cat owners, so there’s one whose cat has died and a different one whose cat still lives.

      This is an insane thing to write below clear photographic evidence to the contrary.

    I feel that it should be mentioned that shrodinger was an evil pedo.
