I don't get that Shrodingers Cat thing. Does that make me a stupid?

Maybe one day great thinkers will agonise over this question and Kempton will be important :emoticon-0100-smile

Fairly straightforward tbh, Kemps.

Just imagine a hypothetical cat which may or may not be alive, based on a quantum supposition of two contrary possibilities of subatomic decay, which may or may not lead to the cat's demise, locked in a metal box, in which it is posited that the cat is simultaneously alive and dead based on the uncertainty of subjective knowledge of the observer, formulated in real time, external to the box.




Simples really.

That part’s simple.
However I’ve owned cats...you’d ****ing know about it if you put one in a box. Metal or not it would be bouncing around the floor and making mad hissing noises if the cat was alive.

Old Schro knew **** all about cats

What if it was a cat / kitten caught in an engine compartment of a car and you wasn't sure if it was a cat / kitten or the engine sound?

Asking for a friend ;)

Wow wasn't that lucky, your next door neighbour poor cat had found its way to York and by 'chance' ended up on your sisters cars roof rack and got all the way back home :) A real Schrödinger of a coincidence

The cat was Sisters next door neighbours and it travelled from York to Hull. We put it in a basket and took it back to its owners.

Just in case anyone was worried about the Cat :cheesy:
