The Cat isn't Alive
Let's understand Schrödinger's cat experiment because there is so much nonsense around it in terms of interpretation that people literally think that the cat was both alive and dead at the same time. People interpret this as the outcomes of collapsing wave function where the result was literally a dual state before the observation. None of these are correct interpretations because you think there is a cat but there is no cat in the first place. It's just a thought experiment to understand how wave function behaves prior to measurement and even mathematically they collapse too when you calculate it on a piece of paper. ____________________________ This Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, proposed by Austrian-Irish physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, is actually meant to illustrate the paradoxes and strange implications of quantum mechanics over the macroscopic world and even in that he meant to make the superposition principle understand more intuitively. It's n...
