it is far from 'a joke to catch those who think they understand quantum mechanics'!
I didn't really mean to imply that the intent of the story is to trap people like that. meant more that it's funny that it the popular understanding of the thought experiment is more or less what schrodinger was criticizing
I've muted the idiocy of the Atheism group, which is why I am posting here.
good call

@wasolili The thought experiment has grown beyond Schrodinger's cricicism though. Ironically, copenhagen interpratation is the commonly known.
PS: We probably want a science/physics subspace

@wasolili - understood.
@yingfan: Physic subspace created. I thought it would be wise to do it fast before some idiot takes over!
Schrödinger's cat — @wasolili: While there is a joke-like quality to this thought experiment, it is far from 'a joke to catch those who think they understand quantum mechanics'! Quite the opposite -- it will catch those who insist that the universe is locally real. Superposition, at the root of this paradox, is a basic concept in most interpretations of quantum mechanics. A particle may simultaneously exist in multiple states until there is an observable consequence, at which point it assumes...
