    What is Schrodinger's Cat?

    Question #113400. Asked by george48. (Mar 14 10 10:46 AM)


    JaneofGaunt

    		Schrödinger's cat is a paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of the theory of quantum mechanics when going from subatomic to macroscopic systems. This means that there can be two different universes depending on the action taken which in this case is opening the box to see if the cat is dead or not. You can not say the cat is alive or dead until you open the box.
