Schrodinger's Cat - Part 2

 When I wrote an alternate interpretation of Schrodinger's cat a couple of days back, it was supposed to be a humorous piece. But since then more serious thoughts regarding the thought experiment have invaded my mind. What if Schrodinger was communicating secretly about the bomb….why would one want to kill a cat to explain Quantum world, strange indeed!

And the killing mechanism is ingenious - a radioactive material that throws out an electron which is detected by a Geiger counter like device which in turn triggers a switch to open a poison cylinder! Because ordinary humans can't see an electron most of the world would remain in mystery as to who released the poison causing the death of the subject. Hollywood ? Bollywood?

Schrodinger's cat - an alternate explanation!

Schrodinger's cat is the silliest explanation I have ever encountered! A cat is in a box with a radioactive material and after a while we have to guess whether it is alive or dead ! It could be alive or dead and because of that uncertainty we say that it is in ‘superposition’ because for a while we have to say that both states, alive and dead, are true, scientifically speaking !! Until we decide to open the box and observe the cat at which point the two states merge into one, scientifically speaking, and we get the answer. 

They also say that the act of observation changes the result ! The cat might decide to jump out of the box when we open the box and run if it is alive !

 It could also be an attempt to blame the observer for the consequence of the cruel experiment.What if there was a human being inside the box instead of the cat ! Can we say that his life was in superposition until we decided to open the box and because we will find him toasted after a while when we open the box, the act of observation caused the result. Therefore, the observer is to be blamed!

What if this was an excuse for throwing the atomic bomb - the scientists could not decide what would happen until the bomb was actually launched and they counted the number of dead and sick people, probabilistically speaking!

Quantum indeed!
