Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, posed this famous question: If you put a cat in a sealed box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing the cat in the next hour, what will be the state of the cat when that time is up? Chad Orzel investigates this thought experiment.

I will appreciate it if he can speak in English at least.
Dizasters battle brought me here
I approve of this video
Ugh not another cat video on the internet.
Friskies
What if I leave my cat in a box for 60 years does that mean he is alive but also dead
bich
WAIT, WaIt, wAiT, wait, wait… You mean to tell me… electrons can be in two places at once… and that Schrodinger never had a cat?
Dude that just blew my mind.
Electrons being shared is far different from a cat being both dead and alive until someone sees it
So you went to the party but didn't go to the party?
The is why cats rule the world…
Kochennk Orennn
Ohhh now I get it…..said no one ever…
I understand everything
Until he start saying about
superposition
Nonsense belonging to the realm of flerfers.
For anyone who is confused don’t worry you aren’t really supposed to understand this stuff
Is the cat inside the box dead or alive?
You say it's both until i open the box?
I say there is no cat in the box, until you open it to make sure it is there indeed.
B-because you know, it could escape. It's not like a cat must listen to what human says, it's other way around.
And since we owe internet existance to a cat… it just proves the cats rule this world. :3
Is it just me or does superposition make weird amount of sense (as in how easy it is to understand and comprehend)
When she says she loves you, but as a friend.
The cat is dead. If something can go wrong, It will.
lol i love thought experiments #nasa
