Schrodinger's Cat is a thought experiment dealing with which type of mechanics?
Correct answer: Quantum Mechanics

I learned about Shroedinger’s cat by Sheldon on Big Bang Theory 🤪

Player Elf Counsel, It was a thought experiment. He never actually put a cat in a box etc. He just asked what would happen if you did.

I love quantum theory... there's so much still to be discovered & so many things they don't understand.
Like how quantum computers work, since they don't store data normally (in bits), they can store multiple things in the same place (using quibits)... and that storage place only fully exists when it's being looked at - kinda like Shrödingers cat. Cool huh?

Sheldon explains it very well on Big Bang Theory!

thank you Sheldon Cooper for teaching everyone about this. I actually got the right answer because of you ! (fictional character I know ) !!

symtyms smart😎,
This is a theoretical cat . Whilst it is both dead and alive at the same time (until it isn’t) Schroedingers Cat does not actually exist. It is only a thought process.
No cats were experimented on or harmed in the process

kardnut, Theoretically, it's both until you open the box and look at it! Interesting paradox...

OpalScorpio51942, it's not math, it's quantum physics!

the cat would be dead from starvation...i wouldn't be looking fot

ChampionNymph37634, I see what you are saying, but the fact that you can't see the cat implies that it could be dead, but it could still be alive. No one really knows unless they open the box. If the

chumley4, same here, great show

It would have to be a soundproofed metal box to avoid detection. Cats don't go quietly!

Very similar to; if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it actually make a sound?
payal
unless the box is air tight or placed in a vacuum and doesn't permit any odor to pass through, you can tell if the cat is dead by its rotting 🤣

I knew watching scishow on YouTube would come in handy one day, there is no way I would've known about this without that channel

SloaneRanger2019, I put a cat in a hat once. she wasn't to happy

you don't have to know anything about physics to know that the cat is dead for sure - no cat van survive for more than 80 years in a box

Player #25874027, I'm glad to hear that...it would be cruel otherwise! :-)
Fun guy
cat is both dead & alive: infinite lives vs 9 !

chumley4, Me too. Great show

Player xyz, 'teaching' us this: i.e. they teach, we learn.

It's quantum baby!
Player xyz
and we thank the big bang theory for learning us this 😉

Elvissa71, it was a thought only experiment

That has always bothered me. No the cat alive or dead in the box. Because we can't see it doesnt make it not either one.
