    Nasty hobitses did not mention radioactive particle decay or poison vile vial! Cat is just dead dead dead!! Suffocated, starved, sensory deprived cat!

      Wait… So the radioactive material or poison is meant to keep the cat alive? 🤔

        no, the vial of poison and radioactive particle connected to a device that breaks the vial 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

    What’s really in the box are the 12 year old girls Schroedinger used to rape

      What

      Edit: okay yep wow that’s true. Damn. Okay. Today’s lesson was not in quantum mechanics.

    The cat was Schrödingers example how super positions make no sense in complex organisms. It was a counter-example, yet everyone uses it as if there would be a undead cat in the box.
