So, Schrodinger's cat is awake or asleep now, instead of alive or dead. That's so pleasant. And so much nicer than Schrodinger's cat in the microwave. Is it alive or dinner.

[Golani-cinu]

Chuck 😂😂 was entanglement with the world 😅

[Pointlomawelding]

Just imagine all the potentials in between that we have yet to make space for. Many worlds await..

[josephsellers]

The first box is the sleeping cat that curiously never learns to think outside of it. The second box is an awake cat that suddenly starts thinking outside of it, and the one opening the box can only hope they find one awake.

[keirthomas]

You dont open the Box, the Box is a metaphor.

[KrispyKraft-gb]

the two worlds actually acts as 50/50 possibility 😊

[Kno_Buddy]

To simplify it there is a quantum state where both realities are true at the same time and it’s not until you observe it that the two possibilities collapse into one of the possible states making it true and the other false. It can be argued that multiple realities might exist that don’t all choose the same outcome when the possibilities collapse into one.

Meanwhile the cat is enjoying its box and wants to be left alone while you decide whether or not it truly exists.

[jonamr]

Asleep? F that noise. Neil you dun messed up aa ron.

[guyspet]

This makes perfect sense, now all you have to do is prove it.

The Multiverse !.now think of every interaction of every atom in the universe and their own ongoing interactions, all are seperate dimensional universes ! Almost infinite universes were everything happens, and not just once, the same things happen over and over and over ! It's the ultimate fair play, everyone wins the lottery and everyone loses the lottery in some universe !

[BIZZLLENIZZLLE]

I thought it was a living or a dead cat. Sleeping cat is less upsetting, I suppose.

[diannalynnYT]

Oh I always thought it was an awake cat or a dead cat...

[briankepner]

🎉 but you can tell that something is going on because the box would have more weight if it had the cat in it or not whether the cat's moving or not.

[Zigmaz]

If matter can't be created, where does all the matter for rhe 2nd universe come from when you put the cat in the box?

[ambion]

Has it gone full circle since Schrödinger specifically crafted the analogy as a refutation of the theory, only to have the cat used more than anything else to support and explain the theory?

[CoxStong]

I’ve always wondered because of the cats consciousness isn’t this thought experiment mute? Or am I just over thinking something used to dumb down something super complicated

[AlphaRobins]

It's similar to a bruce lee comment he did long time ago

[ralph]

Well, Stewart got a new job after TBBT.

[Just.Nw]

Umm, far be it from me to question geniuses and PhD's, but isn't the Schrodinger's cat thing about whether the cat is alive or dead, not asleep or awake? I mean, I guess you could alter it so it would still work, but why would they?
