welcome back pray

 

btw I choose pray over pral not only cause I prefer it, but bc autocorrect makes pral oral.

 

interestingly it makes prsl pralaya.

 

maybe I should just go with rory.

 

Damn, I need to change my name , lol

Yeah, I hate giving players second lives.

*Hides a green mushroom*

 

 

Look what you guys did discussing calculus, semitics, probability, quantum theory etc

 

Now I am back!

We had fun with science!

Thanks for your numbers btw. The Roman ones sucked.

I don't know what this here quantum nonsense is all about but I can tell you for sure the cat is not both dead and alive just bc it's in a box any more than the tortoise wins the race w Achilles.

just because I can't know it doesn't mean both are true.

 

they are mutually exclusive states.

 

it's not about right or wrong, death in this example is objective.

 

it's a one or a zero, it's not both.

 

also, it's really mean to poison a cat. srsly.

I would point out that Schrodingers cat is a principal based in the idea that ignorance forces assumptions, so you must assume all options or risk failure.

 

You've never poisoned a cat?

Posted

not on purpose.

 

as god is my witness, I could have sworn 7 week old kittens couldn't get to the top of the fridge and I didn't know philodendrons were poison anyway.

 

schrodinger (sp?) was a sadist of a thought experimenter, and fine concluding one can't assume but taking it as a literal truth when it can't be is silly.

Schrödinger didn't actually believe that. He was trying to demonstrate the absurdity of certain aspects of quantum mechanics. A cat is a macroscopic system anyways, and therefore, quantum effects are insignificant to it. And yeah, I always found that thought experiment to be way too morbid. Sounds like something a James Bond villian would do.

Quantum superpositions are totally valid for subatomic particles though. The idea that a particle has to be in one state or another has been disproved by experimental data.
