  • I've always been amused that so called "scientists" could talk about this Schrodinger's Cat bullshit with a straight face.

  • @antred11 He said double slit, hehe

  • Also "a poisonous cyadine" doesn't make grammatical sense, whereas "a poisonous sardine" does.

  • ...the experiment. At any rate the Schrodinger's Cat experiment is already a simplification of quantum principles. This just takes it a step further and adds a simplification of radioactice decay.

    So I wouldn't call it nonsense.

  • I like how they try to make Schrodinger's Cat cool and sexy. hahahahha WTF

  • I had forgotten about Schrödinger's cat til I recently came across a couple references to it on some Facebook posts. I then thought "yeah, I've heard about this before, but where?" Thanks for posting this video, for this is where I believe I've heard about it the first time and was what I was trying to remember! Gonna favorite this video - thanks!

  • somewhere in a physic laboratory, nerds are jizzing all over a cat in a box.

  • There's no paradox, no matter which cat is in your hand, it will ALWAYS eat the damn sardine! The real question is : what's the name of ''Schrodinger's cat''?

  • @antred11

    good for you.

    simple minds are often more satisfied with the world. :)

  • Meriadoc brandybuck i should've known.

  • nothing's as toxic as bad TV

  • Imagine you have a cat, a teeny tiny cat that fits in the palm of your hand

    You also have a poisonous sardine

    Once we close your palm there are 2 possible scenarios

    Either the cat eats the sardine and dies, or the cat doesn't eat the sardine and lives

    Quantum physics says until we open your hand to descover the cats fate, both eventualities occur at the same time

    for us, the cat is both living and deceased

    but how can that be?

    that's the miracle of quantum mechanics, the observer gets to decide.
