please to explain?

[–]dnshnd 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The joke is based on the "Schrödingers cat" thought experiment from quantum mechanics. Basically, you have some radioactive atom sealed in a box with a cat. There is a 50% probability that the atom will decay, and once the atom decays that triggers a mechanism that will release poison and kill the cat. Quantum mechanics tells us that the atom has both decayed and not decayed at the same time, it is in a superposition of both of these states at all times until an actual measurement is made, at which point the atom "picks" one state. The question is, if the atom has both decayed and not decayed, then is the cat both dead and alive until we open the box and look?

I realize that is a mind fuck and I don't think I can explain the superposition of states very well. For a better understanding, I think this is a pretty good explanation of how something can be in two states at the same time

lol wow. thank you so much! my face is red now, though...i totally thought there was like some sort of butter inside joke that i was missing

although "Schrödingers cat" triggered some vague sort of classroom-based memory, I am not at all surprised that I didn't pick up on this. Even after your clear, concise explanation, I am still not really picking up what's being put down. Mind-fuck is right.

But again - thank you kind internet stranger. I appreciate you!

[–]Sacamato 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've never been able to understand why it's a paradox though.

The radiation detector that triggers the poison gas has to collapse the wave function in order to work. Just because the box is closed and no humans can see what is going on inside, the device inside the box counts as an observer. So before you open the box, you can legitimately say that the cat is either alive or dead, not simultaneously alive and dead. You just won't know which until you open the box.

I mean I know it's only a thought experiment to illustrate the absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation, but it's not a well-constructed thought experiment. The idea is that, somewhere along the line, there is an observer. And once the observer has observed, you don't have to deal with probabilities anymore.

[–]acastro 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

from wiki : This thought experiment highlights the implications that accepting uncertainty at the microscopic level has on macroscopic objects. A cat is put in a sealed box, with its life or death made dependent on the state of a subatomic particle. Thus a description of the cat during the course of the experiment—having been entangled with the state of a subatomic particle—becomes a "blur" of "living and dead cat." But this can't be accurate because it implies the cat is actually both dead and alive until the box is opened to check on it. But the cat, if he survives, will only remember being alive. Schrödinger resists "so naively accepting as valid a 'blurred model' for representing reality."

Since the OP didn't explain it, I'll tag-along on your joke... Reductio Ad Absurdum is taking someone's point down a slippery slope and then 20 miles more into a canyon. For example, we can't let gay people get married because then people will want to marry farm animals and Doritos Locos tacos.

It is margarine and isn't at the same time. Until you open the box can and collapse the wave function by measuring or observing it. Or if it's in Chinese probably just a dead cat.

[–]DrJRR 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And it's from Taiwan, not China. Therefore it probably is what it says it is, rather than margarine [with a little melamine for flavor] as would likely be the case in the PRC.

Heisenberg is driving Schrodinger to Las Vegas, and they get pulled over. The cop asks Heisenberg “Do you know how fast you were going when I pulled you over?”

Heisenberg says “No, but I know exactly where I was.”

This pisses the cop off, and he checks the trunk and finds a dead cat.

“Did you know you have a dead cat in your trunk?” he asks, and Schrodinger replies, “Well…now I know.”

So the cat was both dead and alive but making his own 'special butter'?

That's how I feel about pretty much all of the groceries I buy here in China. :) Maybe it's chicken, maybe it's not.

Bonus feature: If you drop a slice of toast buttered with Schoedinger's, it will NOT land buttered side down!

There's a problem in the marketing there. People will be thinking "Well until we open it, it's both butter and not butter!" when really, it's a satire of our current understanding of saturated fats.

It would be even better if say the factory where this is packaged they have a random process that decides whether or not each container gets butter, or a butter substitute. So you actually don't know until you open it.

do your homework, it's butter and it's not butter unless we open it!

when opened, about half of the packs are empty... also, some of the butter is already on your bread!
