Wednesday

i think from now on im going to make each day a sort of theme day. like Mondays: Nostalgia Music Monday, we'll all take a step into the music time capsule and pick out a good song from the 60's 70's 80's. let me know what you think of that idea. Today will be wondering Wednesday; so lets discuss Schrodinger's Cat, the idea is that if we put a cat in a box (that we cannot see into, no cameras. nothing) and close the box. While the cat is in the box it is both dead and alive until we open the box and see what has happened. think about it if you leave your friend in a room and leave while you're gone he/she is both dead and alive. Once we come back and check, then we know. Until then they are both dead and alive.

Discuss away.

  1. Interesting. That thought never crossed my mind. But I guess its kind of like, if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? I guess.

    I like your days of the weeks idea too.

  6. Learned about this in my Physics class.
    Schrödinger also came up with an equation for quantum mechanics, and it is basically an uncertainty principle that states that one cannot know the specific location and momentum of an electron at one point in time.

  7. He had the best cat, you can make as many assumptions as you like but the reality is. You know nothing until visual proof has been established.

  15. Old school idea. I like it an amazing concept discovered for its time. Following.

  16. I think quantum mechanic principles being a plied to a cat is absurd, the cat is either alive or dead. The metaphor is ok, but realistically observing it is not going to alter its state.

  17. Schrodinger's Fat:
    A fat person is left in the kitchen.
    When you close the door, you do not know if your food is still there, or if it has been devoured.

  18. Basically like, if a tree falls in a forest, and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? We will never know..

  19. We talked about this in our philosophy class, I would have to say that it is alive until it is actually dead (as others stated). It would know it is alive, since it could still move. So...I think it is a silly proposition, in my opinion.

    Though good idea to talk about, keep bringing those up. I love those topics.

  25. I dunno, I think everything disappears when I close my eyes. Everything was created when I was born, and will cease to exist when I die.

  33. I always thought this thing was stupid....While you're not in the room the cat isn't both dead and alive, it's one or the other but you just don't know which (most likely alive) Simples! I never got why this was such a philosophical question.

    ReplyDelete
  34. that's a good idea, a new theme every day. :)

  35. Schrodinger's Cat was used to describe how one could never observe the exact location of an electron, and it got the job done. But, applying it in other ways is interesting if not a little weird to do... oh well!

  36. I'm a bit too optimistic too imagine a dead cat in a box

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm with oops! Haha, I would never want to imagine a dead cat in a box. :( poor thing!
