Was the cat’s name “Humdinger”?

Headache! Think of how the cat feels.

why do the odds change when the box is opened?

And what kind of box has a 50% chance of killing the animal? Where’d he get it, Harbor Freight?

MalWart.

The trouble with the “absurdity of quantum physics” is that every experiment validates it.

so bottom line, we don’t know anything until we know something. This mind experiment has to be phrased properly, “the possibilities of the cat being alive or dead are equal without more information” Well, duh.

The Monty Schrödinger Problem:

3 Boxes, each with a cat inside, 2 dead, 1 alive. You choose a box. Monty opens one of the unchosen boxes to reveal a dead cat, and asks if you wish to switch your choice to the other remaining box. Should you? ㋛

But why use a cat as an example. Seems uncaring and cruel just to prove a point.

actual question is: why would you put a cat in such a box to begin with?…box is empty

Schrödinger didn’t say the box killed the cat—just that it concealed whether the cat inside was either dead or alive.

Quantum physics may be absurd but it’s quite real.

Does Sheldon know Schrödinger did it to prove the absurdity of physics? ’Cause I don’t really think that’s why he did it.
