EldwinSchrodinger @ Schrodinger's Virus saves the cat's day

loving you always ♥

It was known that in 1935, Erwin Schrodinger devised his famous thought experiment – in which a cat is both alive and dead at the same time – to highlight the paradoxical nature of quantum mechanics. Now, a group of physicists in Germany and Spain believe that it should be possible to build an experiment in which an actual living creature such as a virus is held in a superposition of quantum states.

The idea of the experiment is where we imagine a cat is being placed in box where it contained a glass filled with poison toxic, where near the glass there is a radioactive substance, a hammer and a Geiger counter. Its made/set up in a way that if the radioactive substance decays it will activate the hammer and smash the glass killing the cat. Since the radioactive material is so weak, there is a 50:50 chance of decay, which means, Quantum mechanics would tells us that the material would be in a quantum superposition of both experiencing a decay and not. Which therefore, also places the cat in the quantum superposition. Meaning, being both dead and alive.

However, there a plan to use a single cell organism to do the job rather than using cats, hence, i would say it would be a good news for cat lovers and cats, to read on check out this link,
