When did Shrödinger's cat die?

That's a trick question I believe. You can't tell if he's dead until you open the box. Theoretically, the cat died when the poison was released, and you can try to narrow it down to a certain time with that... Feb 16 06, 5:09 PM

As Shrödinger died in 1961, and as cats rarely live to more than 19 years of age. I would say Shrödinger cat died some time before 1980. Feb 16 06, 7:01 PM

(Must learn how to do these little dots in Windows - much easier on a Mac) Erwin Schrodinger was very fed up with that ****ed cat and wished he'd never put it that way. Mind you, I like the Pratchett version, where the cat has three states. Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious. Feb 17 06, 3:53 AM

Lol, I like the three states. I'll tell that to my sister. Feb 21 06, 4:12 PM

Actually, the cat never died because it was never alive in the first place. This was purely a thought experiment and has never been carried out, publicly at least.... Erwin Schrödinger came up with this one in about 1935, so the hypothetical cat wouldn't have survived past about 1955 or so had it been alive in the first place. http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/ardlouis/dissipative/Schrcat.html Feb 21 06, 5:37 PM
