10 science jokes for nerds
#11
LONDONER Wrote:I looked up Schrodinger’s cat on the Internet and I still don't understand it!

it's an analogy on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, that observation process collapses the wave function of the quantum entity (particle) and before then it is both wave and a particle at the same time. so, the cat is both dead and alive.

according to quantum mechanics a cat would be everywhere (in the bar, outside the bar, everywhere) simultaneously. the location would be a spectrum. ergo, it walks into the bar and doesn't walk into the bar at the same time. the stress is on 'and'. (although this is really an oversimplification, and there are other ways to look at it, but i digress from complicating it further. it's just a popular interpretative joke, after all).

P.S. see this thread, if you're interested:

Graffiti: Heisenberg MAY have been here.

Three statisticians go out hunting, and spot a deer. One shoots, and his bullet goes three yards to the left. A second one fires, and his bullet goes three yards to the right. The third statistician jumps up and yells "We got him!"

Thanks but I don't think that it is such an important factor of my life that I need to persue it.
