"The good news is it is alive. The bad news it is dead. It is both alive and dead. Also which one you see depends on your point of observation." This is truly mind blowing though studying quantum particle physics. I do not believe in far out quantum theory like time dilation and matter being in a time field where if physical phenomena can escape space scenarios they still cannot escape time scenarios. I believe time is a perception of the mind. Likewise I do not believe schrodinger's cat represents the true reality of alternate dimensions and universes existing at the same time and being applied to black hole theory etc. There is a practicality to it. It is mind blowing how Schrodinger's cat is applied in a practical sense through observation of sub atomic particles. Is the cat in the box both alive and dead at the same time? When unobserved the cat in the box acts as both. However when the box is lifted the particles behave one way or another depending on how observed. Eventually this became Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Practicality would tell us both cannot be real but both are subatomic particles behave like particles or waves depending on how observed. In a way this is how all things are in your sleep there is no gravity or physical boundaries but when you awake they quite clearly exist. Will we ever know the true reason for how particles exist as both at the same time but one or another when observed? Maybe never. It is a great mystery but still the more we understand this the more we understand the true atomic model and obviously if a formula was cracked for why it may take us light years beyond our current understand of atomic processes and fission and fusion and anti matter etc. Even though we know so much already there is so much we don't know.
I agree because if there were a split universe where as to humans are highly advanced (time travel, different dimension travel etc). , wouldn't they have came by now, and or try and communicate or something like take our resources or give us knowledge.
DEV time travel isn't necessarily inter-dimensional, though. they might have traveled back to early settlements of their dimension but not ours. it's also possible that in our dimension we'll never discover time travel. who knows!
Not true cat actually makes sound from time to time so if you woudl stand close to the box you would know wheter the cat is dead or alive, no superposition.

@Moonlight phan - That's the point Shrodinger was making, that Quantum mechanics suggests the cat is alive and dead at the same time, and that is absurd. It suggests there isn't just a single reality. Young's slits shows a similar thing in a different way. Experiements overwhelmingly support that this model is right.
Schrodinger did not invent the cat story to show how weird quantum mechanics is, but to show how ridiculous the Copenhagen interpretation, in which the observer plays a critical role, is. He did not believe the cat would be in a superposition of dead and alive, he considered it nonsense and so do I. The later idea that the Universe splits in two at every quantum event that could have two outcomes is even more nonsensical.

Since I came across this concept this is the second video I am watching. And I am 100% sure that i dont have watch anymore for better understanding. A good explanation love. Kudos. GOD bless you
This implies we are living multiple lives, potentially ad infinitum, in parallel dimensions, without even being aware of one another, yet independently making choices and consistently creating new universes of possibility.
Jane Roberts discusses this possibility in many different ways, and levels of reality in SETH SPEAKS and also THE SETH MATERIAL. If you're curious, do look for it.
Flip a coin, I call heads, you call tails. It's tails. But actually it was heads, but because you looked at it and called tails, split into a different timeline, therefore you cheated, it was heads in the original timeline!
The theory never mentions going back in time, in the sense that one could look at something that happened and then make a choice in the past... nor it mentions that our choosing will forcefully change the result of the timeline we are set in to our advantage. Nor it mentions skipping between timelines. I don't think you have te right approach to it..
but you can argue that whatever timeline you're currently in happened because of the events or lack of events that had occurred which "caused" the timeline that happened to occur.
what a load of crap. I like how no one mentions that the idea of big bang contradicts this quantum crap. How did the Universe come about through and create its structure if the first particles couldn't have a defined position unless it was observed.
what caused the collapse onto a state if only way the collapse can happen if it was observed. This is why Einstein was right when he said you are telling me the moon is not there unless I observe it?
Thank you! The logic of Schrodinger's Cat just wasn't clicking for me even after watching 2 other videos I still couldn't quite get it. After watching yours I am pretty sure I got it! You explained it so clearly to someone without any previous study! Thanks a bunch!
Great video! However, I am still confused as to why observation collapses multiple superpositions of a particle into one position. I understand how the observer effect can alter the position of particles and waves, but what I don't understand is why it would matter if something is being observed in terms of whether it is in a superposition or in a single position.
Silly person. Every time you die you enter into the existence of the closest dimension. You fell off your bike as a young child, and yet, you only scraped your knee... but everything, somehow, changed. You almost got side swiped by that truck that friday night, on the way home. Made you shake, and be thankful you didn't take that last drink. Yet, everything became different... Every time something changes that you just can't put your finger on, oh all the kids are calling it the mandela effect.. but. it's just you migrating closer and closer to knowing if that cat is alive or not. One meaningless death, at a time.
Just because it can be several different things doesnt mean that it is all these things at once. It's either dead or alive, it's not both dead and alive until looked upon.
Surely that means that’s there’s a universe in which someone has figured out how to travel between universes, and decided to come to ours to tell us about it
In the original experiment (theorized), the Geiger counter tripped a switch that broke a flask of Hydrogen Cyanide which killed the cat - not the tiny amount of radiation.
Altair Ibn La-Ahad I think the video said radiation kills the cat because the person who made the video didn't do their research. She doesn't point out that Schrödinger's point was that the dead cat/alive cat at the same time scenario was absurd and obviously not true, showing us that the contemporary view of quantum mechanics was flawed.
Actually, what almost everyone seems to have forgotten is that A. 'Schrodinger'S cat' was Schrodinger ironic statement concerning the theory of superposition. B. The point of the whole cat being ' both death and alive' was his way of asking the question 'Where lies the border between quantum reality and Macro reality? He chose the unpredictability of Uranium's decay as the representation of quantum reality. And the cat presenting the macro reality . The cat being 'both death and alive' pointing to the absurdity of superposition.
There was a man that had a pet cat/dog, so smart, that when he said to the animal: Do you wanna play fetch or not? The cat/dog played fetch or not at the same time.
What people fail to mention when talking about quantum superposition using Schrodinger's Cat is the difference between a classical bit of information (like a computer bit being on or off) and a quantum bit of information (a qubit). Both bits produce one of two outcomes when queried (measured), but a classical bit has only one measurement possible while a qubit can be measured in many different ways (infinitely many, actually), each with two possible outcomes. For example, when you pass an electron through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, the electron is either deflected towards the North magnetic pole ("up") or towards the South magnetic pole ("down"). You can orient the N-S magnetic field in any direction you like and the electrons will still give one of those two outcomes, so electron spin is a qubit with two outcomes of spin "up" and spin "down" relative the the N-S magnetic field. Now suppose you pass electrons through a N-S magnetic field oriented vertically and then send those that were deflected "up" (literally up in this case) to a N-S magnetic field oriented horizontally. What do you expect to find? Well since the electrons have vertical spin up and spin is a vector (picture an arrow pointing upward here), then you probably expect the electron to pass straight through the horizontal magnetic field, i.e., they won't be deflected left or right at all ("up" or "down" relative to the horizontal N-S field). That's because the electron's spin vector (arrow) points up which means it doesn't point side-to-side (left of right) at all, so your horizontal spin measurement of a vertical spin up electron should seemingly yield a result of zero horizontal spin. But what you find instead is that 50% of the vertical spin up electrons are deflected left ("up" towards North pole) and 50% are deflected right ("down" towards South pole). True, 50% left plus 50% right *averages* to zero, but that's not what you expect from the measurement of a vector quantity in ordinary classical mechanics. [Aside: Quantum mechanics gives the classically expected results on average over the discrete or quantum measurement outcomes.] This is quantum superposition, a vertical spin up electron is a quantum superposition of 50% horizontal spin left and 50% horizontal spin right and we write that as |V+> = |H+> + |H-> (divided by root 2 for normalization, but I don't need that to make my point). The point here is the horizontal spin measurement of the quantum state |V+> produces each of its two "up"-"down" (left-right) results in 50-50 fashion. This is exactly what you hear people say about Schrodinger's Cat, i.e., you open the box and find the cat is dead with 50% probability or find the cat is alive with 50% probability. With that information alone, Schrodinger's Cat could be a classical bit or a qubit. If Schrodinger's Cat is a qubit, then there must be a measurement of the cat-box system like the vertical spin measurement of the state |V+> that produces |V+>, i.e., |H+> + |H->, with 100% certainty. We know the measurement "open the box" producing "Live Cat"-"Dead Cat" results in 50-50 fashion is analogous to the horizontal spin measurement of |V+>, so what is the measurement of the cat-box system giving |Live Cat> + |Dead Cat> with 100% certainty in analogy with the vertical spin measurement of the state |V+> that produces |V+> with 100% certainty? And what does its outcome mean physically? If you can't articulate that measurement and outcome of the cat-box system, and every possible measurement between that measurement and the "open the box" measurement, then the cat-box system is just a classical bit ... like flipping a coin to find heads or tails. No quantum superposition there 🙂 To read more about the quantum information approach to entanglement for the "general reader," see "Einstein's Entanglement: Bell Inequalities, Relativity, and the Qubit" due out in June 2024 with Oxford UP.
Isn't there an inherent problem with this experiment, in that, the cat itself holds consciousness and therefore is observing inside the box, -- observing it's own decay up until the point of death at which stage it's no longer conscious? So, if a consciousness observing the event ensures an outcome, then there was only ever one outcome possible because the cat is conscious. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Exactly! The experiment would’ve made much more sense if the object in the box was incapable of observation. Perhaps it’s because people used to think animals were not truly conscious.
@@arcaipekyun4232 would it though? i could watch a murderer kill a man and would he stop? would he continue if he didn't see me? of course. of course he would. just because you can observe things most likely doesn't mean it'll change. you didn't observe it but you will still see that a murder happened in the news.
Fred The Skrub reference is not right. Thing is if there were no observers in your example, then you wouldn’t know what has really happened. As soon as you observe, you will learn it. But if you were there watching it, then you would directly learn it, so there wouldn’t be that situation where you didn’t know what happened. When you talk about schrödinger’s cat and that observing changes something, you mean that immediately when you observe that, for you that very thing will go from uncertainty to certainty. Same goes for the murderer. If there are no observers, then it would be an uncertainty, and what has happened would only be certain when someone goes to the crime scene. But if you were watching it, then the uncertainty would not happen, and the situation would be clear. You understood this wrong. Observer changes the event is not that observer changing something from happening to not. It is that with an observer there are no uncertainty.
You can have something that is alive and also dead. Just because we don't know if it's alive or dead, doesn't mean it's both. It is either one or the other. Obviously, I'm not much of a sciencey person. Common sense rules over weird theories for me
Subscribed! I just watched many other videos on this subject that left me scratching my head. This one help me understand the absurdity that is quantum mechanics. Thank you!
Particles can only travel at the speed of light, so they cant be everywhere at once. A particle can naturally decay without being measured, but it cannot be in two states at the same time. At any given instant in time, the particle can only be in one definite state, either as a particle or a decay product. The process of decay involves the particle transitioning from one state to another over a certain period of time, during which it cannot be in both states simultaneously. The experiment was only conceptual thought experiment, not to be taken literally.
Erwin Schrödinger was driving home one night when he was pulled over by the police. The officer asked him to step out of the car while he searched the vehicle. After a while, he went to the back of the car and opened the trunk. In that moment, the officer said, "hey do you know that you've got a dead cat in here?" To which Schrödinger replies, "Well I do now".
I spilled water on my laptop. It’s laying upside down on my pillow and I’m praying it’s okay. I looked at it and it reminded me of the Schrödinger’s cat. Just like the cat could be dead or alive, my laptop could be damaged or fine. The cat, just like the laptop, is in both states of being either dead or alive until you check. My question is, would it be possible to alter states however you wish?
Is "observing" the cat limited to opening the box any physically seeing it or does that include listening to any sounds that might be coming from the box (which would suggest life)?
but then you still wont know if the cat is alive or dead until you look at the camera and maybe in another universe the camera doesnt show anything there cant just be two super positions there are infinite ones and that is probably why black holes were created. too many super positions so there is super position that stops super positions. i dont know what im trying to say any more....
No, a passive observation has zero impact on the experiment. In this case, there is no requirement other than passive observation, to determine if the cat is alive or dead. However, at a quantum level, one must interfere with whatever is to be measured in order to gauge a difference. A dark room, you're blindfolded. Reach out to see if there is a glass of water in front of you. You feel the table, interfering with it as you do, and suddenly you feel your hand knock over the glass of water. By sheer observation, you destroyed the coherency of the glass of water, but you did discover that it was there. You have to alter the outcome, at a quantum level, just to know if the experiment was viable. But a cat in a box has no such inclusions. A better test would be to put 2 cats in a box.
The whole thing with the cat is an analogy: of course the cat doesn't consider itself to be both living and dead. The point of it is to illustrate the basic concept of quantum superposition. Also I find it quite misleading to say that, if a particle is in a superposition of states, that it is literally in both states at the same time, e.g. the cat is both alive and dead. You can never observe the particle (cat) to be in more than one state at a time; the act of measurement collapses the superposition into a single state, with a certain probability of collapsing to each state depending on the exact form of the superposition state. I think it's better, though perhaps no less misleading, to say that the particle (cat) is not in any observable states (is neither alive nor dead).
Success in understanding something can never rely solely upon common sense, intuition, mathematics, or upon every known physical law. Some questions which cannot be asked, formulated, or even concieved may well still have insurmountable barriers. They may always.
slight problem - the cat is a living entity with consciousness and has its own observations that are fracturing realities and collapsing wave functions (superPositions). So why would the cat care if a human was observing the box? theres a 50/50 chance the human might not make the observation from the cats perspective. what about micro-organisms inside the box? they are generating their own consciousness and effecting reality, They must be considered too. This sounds more like a god analogy. Erwin Schrodinger was very religious and i think this is about a creator. God is watching at all times, if you are good and follow his word you will receive the positive outcome etc. God = energy field.
Theycallmeroman wasn't trying to sound enlightened or knowledgeable. I asked valid questions. I'm guessing you like schrodingers theory but don't like the fact that he believes in a creator?
@Theycallmeroman: And yet, it wasn't nearly as hilarious as your "attempt" at understanding him. And so all the thanks goes to you, my friend. Perhaps they should call you "inane".
I've watched a few quantum theory videos, such as your video on string theory. One that I'm hung up on is the theory of Schrodinger's Cat , this very theory, and the multiple universe theory that is born of it. If this theory holds true, is there a possible path where the universe might never die out? Is there a chance that there is - in an alternate universe - a species so advanced that it might reach beyond the confines of it's own universe to manipulate others? Would that not have a rebounding effect on itself? What would happen? Is there already a theory derived of these ponderings? Am I over thinking things? Am I just totally lost to the concept here? Seriously, watching these videos have left me awed and confused.
They haven't, there be no point...As he explained, we cannot see this other Universe. Our selves in that Universe shall, we however, like they could never know that the other result happened. He never killed any cats, nor did he ever attempt it. He was simply stating a fact and logic because Cats have the strange ability to survive what other animals cannot.
This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the nature of time as a universal process of energy exchange with an emergent future relative to the atoms of the periodic table.
ok, first of all, you stated the experiment wrong. the cat is not killed by radiation, the radiation triggers the release of a poison, which in turn kills the cat. furthermore, you completely failed (or actually didnt even try) to resolve the paradox. obviously the cat is NOT dead and alive while the lid is closed and its state is certainly NOT determined the moment you open the lid and that is NOT what this thought experiment is telling us. the very simple explanation for this "mind-boggling" paradox is that "observation" in this context has nothing to do with US (as sentient and intelligent beings) observing it. it simply means that the particle interacts with another particle and thus has to collapse into a certain state (because the outcome of the interaction is dependent on the state of the particles at the time of the interaction). these interactions happen all the time and as soon as a certain outcome is reached, the fate of the cat is sealed, whether we open the lid or not (well, technically we can save the cat by removing it from the poisonous environment fast enough, but thats not the point) also, i am pretty sure, that this multiverse-theory is BS. i might be wrong about this (i am not a theoretical physicist^^), but I always thought that the state of the particle at the time of the interaction actually IS determined; we are just not able to predict the state of the particle, because it is impossible (for us) to gather all the data needed, so we have to rely on probabilities (until we can observe a certain state). now, if this assumption is correct, there are not multiple possible states, so there is no reason for the universe to split.
THANK YOU. It's nice to see someone who has actually bothered to read up on this instead of spewing bullshit like in most of the other comments (and indeed the common misinterpretation in the video). The entire point of the experiment is to say "and obviously that's absurd and untrue on a macroscopic level" essentially. Quote from Schrödinger: "It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks."
Conner Mcmahan What? Saying that things that aren't the video *aren't in the video* is stating a fact, and as the video doesn't actually contain a) a full and correct version of the experiment and b) the purpose of the experiment, those aren't strawmen either. Amusingly, calling either of our responses a strawman is a misrepresentation you're ragging on, thus making your statement a strawman. Good job!
Conner Mcmahan No, the second sentence is blatantly wrong. The purpose is to point out a flaw in the Copenhagen interpretation, not to point out an aspect of quantum physics. His point was that the cat is EITHER dead OR alive, never both, so the model doesn't extend to a macroscopic level, which among other things questions when collapse occurs. The video suggests that the experiment examines quirks and doesn't mention Schrödinger's intentions and conclusions. It's misleading.
Quantum Mechanics does not spell the end of Materialism. Quantum Mechanics proves that Reality does and does not exist at the same time, proves that the duality of Reality, that the two qualities of a singularity, are, of course, are not born of two different realities. The two qualities represent a Single Reality, the two qualities being distinctly different each from the other. The two cats in Schrödinger’s Box are the two, dual, qualities of a single Cat which may either dead or alive, are both dead and alive at the same time. The dead cat and the live cat is actually a single cat that is both dead and alive at the same time. The two cats represent represents a Reality that has no relative, no numerical value, that has a numerical value of Zero-0, Nada, The Nothingness, that existed prior to the moment of the creation of the first singularity of Zero-0 to make the quantum leap, be converted into a Singularity of One-1 Into the Reality of First Cause, an affect, became the direct cause of a System of Chaos which made manifest Reality of the Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the Reality of Everything that exists in the material sense of the word.
So how can a Reality both exist and not exist at the same time? The Reality that does not exist has no relative numerical value, has a numerical value of zero-0, Nothing, is the primordial, the primary, is a Superior Reality, with the Reality of First Cause, the Singularity having a numerical value of One-1 being the secondary Singularity, the Reality that does exist.
The primary, primordial Singularity is a single Reality that does and does not exist, primordially speaking does not exist, has no mass, is not measurable as to location and momentum in Space and Time which did not exist simply because it was motionless.. The Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the reality of everything was motionless, nothing having angular momentum, the velocity of speed and direction. Motion existing as a vibration, as an innate inner oscillation within each singularity of Zero-0. The first, the Reality of First Cause being a Singularity of Zero-0 that had the possibility of being converted into a second Singularity of One-1. A singularity of zero-0 and a singularity of One-1 being the same Singularity, identical, yet each is distinctly different from the other. Zero-0 being representative of Nothing and the Singularity of One-1 being uncaused, being a creation, the Reality of First Cause, the direct cause of a system of chaos that made manifest Reality of the Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the Reality of Everything that exists in the material sense of the Word. Reality itself being born of Nothingness. As a Singularity of Zero-0 issued forth from the Event Horizon it was converted into the second of two singularities, the Reality of First Cause. 0\1
The point I am yet to see covered or read about which seems to be missing is that, does the cat not observe its own state? The cat has a consciousness whilst alive which essentially acts as the uncovering of the box, making the box itself redundant. Can this be true of a single particle? Can the particle itself be experiencing its environment, or is the particle different to the cat in this regard?
+Melissa Clark Great film. Imagine it happening in real life. I think the way they all freaked out is well justified. I would sure as hell freak tf out.
The answer to this scientific theory is that scientists have to study spirituality to get the answer. Atoms and subatomic particles move based on *thought and emotion* being vibrated from the person, meaning God and the human mind is the same thing. This is also known as the law of attraction, meaning a person attracting a red car to themselves through this process. The atoms don't come to the person on their own, it's the person causing all this to move. So to make it sound more easier: The type of thought & emotion + The vibration + the conscious and subconscious mind = The type of universe that is being created.

Just shake the box!
To shake the box would lead to an outcome which itself would be necessarily observable, therefore...particle collapse.
Freedom's Tavern it's a load of bullshit, if a tree falls and no one's around to hear it guess what, IT FELL AND IT MADE A SOUND we live in reality not fairy land
+wildboy789789 Or...it (the tree) fell and it made a vibration (or sound wave). Our ears translate the vibration into "sound". So...if there is nor physical ear to interpret the vibration...did it?
Freedom's Tavern the point is, it didn't act any differently because no one was there to witness it, the tree and vibrations acted normally either way
@ wildboy789789 your just a typical dumbass lol
Since I came across this concept this is the second video I am watching. And I am 100% sure that i dont have watch anymore for better understanding. A good explanation love. Kudos. GOD bless you
This implies we are living multiple lives, potentially ad infinitum, in parallel dimensions, without even being aware of one another, yet independently making choices and consistently creating new universes of possibility.
Jane Roberts discusses this possibility in many different ways, and levels of reality in SETH SPEAKS and also THE SETH MATERIAL. If you're curious, do look for it.
This was the video that actually explained this in a way I could understand - finally!! ✨
Flip a coin, I call heads, you call tails. It's tails. But actually it was heads, but because you looked at it and called tails, split into a different timeline, therefore you cheated, it was heads in the original timeline!
The theory never mentions going back in time, in the sense that one could look at something that happened and then make a choice in the past... nor it mentions that our choosing will forcefully change the result of the timeline we are set in to our advantage. Nor it mentions skipping between timelines. I don't think you have te right approach to it..
but you can argue that whatever timeline you're currently in happened because of the events or lack of events that had occurred which "caused" the timeline that happened to occur.
what a load of crap. I like how no one mentions that the idea of big bang contradicts this quantum crap. How did the Universe come about through and create its structure if the first particles couldn't have a defined position unless it was observed.
or maybe we only see one outcome, because only one happened? And maybe this theory is total bullshit? HowBowDah?
what caused the collapse onto a state if only way the collapse can happen if it was observed. This is why Einstein was right when he said you are telling me the moon is not there unless I observe it?
Thank you! The logic of Schrodinger's Cat just wasn't clicking for me even after watching 2 other videos I still couldn't quite get it. After watching yours I am pretty sure I got it! You explained it so clearly to someone without any previous study! Thanks a bunch!

wheres the lazy pavlov?
Great video! However, I am still confused as to why observation collapses multiple superpositions of a particle into one position. I understand how the observer effect can alter the position of particles and waves, but what I don't understand is why it would matter if something is being observed in terms of whether it is in a superposition or in a single position.
I loved the video! Mind blown in this universe...
In another universe, I did not like the video... but who cares, we aren't there! :P

Silly person. Every time you die you enter into the existence of the closest dimension. You fell off your bike as a young child, and yet, you only scraped your knee... but everything, somehow, changed. You almost got side swiped by that truck that friday night, on the way home. Made you shake, and be thankful you didn't take that last drink. Yet, everything became different...
Every time something changes that you just can't put your finger on, oh all the kids are calling it the mandela effect.. but. it's just you migrating closer and closer to knowing if that cat is alive or not. One meaningless death, at a time.
Just because it can be several different things doesnt mean that it is all these things at once. It's either dead or alive, it's not both dead and alive until looked upon.
Surely that means that’s there’s a universe in which someone has figured out how to travel between universes, and decided to come to ours to tell us about it
In the original experiment (theorized), the Geiger counter tripped a switch that broke a flask of Hydrogen Cyanide which killed the cat - not the tiny amount of radiation.
+netjunkie9 I'm glad that someone pointed this out, otherwise we've got some crazy radiation source here :')
netjunkie9 I think the vid said that the radiation killed the cat so it's simpler
Altair Ibn La-Ahad I think the video said radiation kills the cat because the person who made the video didn't do their research. She doesn't point out that Schrödinger's point was that the dead cat/alive cat at the same time scenario was absurd and obviously not true, showing us that the contemporary view of quantum mechanics was flawed.
Yes but a lot of these explanation leave that out
Actually, what almost everyone seems to have forgotten is that A. 'Schrodinger'S cat' was Schrodinger ironic statement concerning the theory of superposition. B. The point of the whole cat being ' both death and alive' was his way of asking the question 'Where lies the border between quantum reality and Macro reality? He chose the unpredictability of Uranium's decay as the representation of quantum reality. And the cat presenting the macro reality . The cat being 'both death and alive' pointing to the absurdity of superposition.
I’ve watched many videos on Schrodinger’s Cat and this one explained it my untrained mind the best. Thank you!
Schrodinger cat is just an amazing concept to explain about unique aspect of quantum theory. His wave equation is more complicated.
There was a man that had a pet cat/dog, so smart, that when he said to the animal: Do you wanna play fetch or not?
The cat/dog played fetch or not at the same time.

Best explanation of Schrodinger's cat and its implications I have found.
So since I'm here in my room with no one observing me am I in a super state? Am I everywhere?
What I thought, too
No, because you are observing yourself by being consciously aware of your own being and surroundings, thus preventing a superstate from occurring.

THE UNIVERSES ARE FULL OF MORONS WHO DON'T GIVE A DAMN FOR ANIMAL WELL-BEING.
What people fail to mention when talking about quantum superposition using Schrodinger's Cat is the difference between a classical bit of information (like a computer bit being on or off) and a quantum bit of information (a qubit). Both bits produce one of two outcomes when queried (measured), but a classical bit has only one measurement possible while a qubit can be measured in many different ways (infinitely many, actually), each with two possible outcomes.
For example, when you pass an electron through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, the electron is either deflected towards the North magnetic pole ("up") or towards the South magnetic pole ("down"). You can orient the N-S magnetic field in any direction you like and the electrons will still give one of those two outcomes, so electron spin is a qubit with two outcomes of spin "up" and spin "down" relative the the N-S magnetic field. Now suppose you pass electrons through a N-S magnetic field oriented vertically and then send those that were deflected "up" (literally up in this case) to a N-S magnetic field oriented horizontally. What do you expect to find?
Well since the electrons have vertical spin up and spin is a vector (picture an arrow pointing upward here), then you probably expect the electron to pass straight through the horizontal magnetic field, i.e., they won't be deflected left or right at all ("up" or "down" relative to the horizontal N-S field). That's because the electron's spin vector (arrow) points up which means it doesn't point side-to-side (left of right) at all, so your horizontal spin measurement of a vertical spin up electron should seemingly yield a result of zero horizontal spin. But what you find instead is that 50% of the vertical spin up electrons are deflected left ("up" towards North pole) and 50% are deflected right ("down" towards South pole). True, 50% left plus 50% right *averages* to zero, but that's not what you expect from the measurement of a vector quantity in ordinary classical mechanics. [Aside: Quantum mechanics gives the classically expected results on average over the discrete or quantum measurement outcomes.] This is quantum superposition, a vertical spin up electron is a quantum superposition of 50% horizontal spin left and 50% horizontal spin right and we write that as |V+> = |H+> + |H-> (divided by root 2 for normalization, but I don't need that to make my point).
The point here is the horizontal spin measurement of the quantum state |V+> produces each of its two "up"-"down" (left-right) results in 50-50 fashion. This is exactly what you hear people say about Schrodinger's Cat, i.e., you open the box and find the cat is dead with 50% probability or find the cat is alive with 50% probability. With that information alone, Schrodinger's Cat could be a classical bit or a qubit. If Schrodinger's Cat is a qubit, then there must be a measurement of the cat-box system like the vertical spin measurement of the state |V+> that produces |V+>, i.e., |H+> + |H->, with 100% certainty. We know the measurement "open the box" producing "Live Cat"-"Dead Cat" results in 50-50 fashion is analogous to the horizontal spin measurement of |V+>, so what is the measurement of the cat-box system giving |Live Cat> + |Dead Cat> with 100% certainty in analogy with the vertical spin measurement of the state |V+> that produces |V+> with 100% certainty? And what does its outcome mean physically? If you can't articulate that measurement and outcome of the cat-box system, and every possible measurement between that measurement and the "open the box" measurement, then the cat-box system is just a classical bit ... like flipping a coin to find heads or tails. No quantum superposition there 🙂
To read more about the quantum information approach to entanglement for the "general reader," see "Einstein's Entanglement: Bell Inequalities, Relativity, and the Qubit" due out in June 2024 with Oxford UP.
Isn't there an inherent problem with this experiment, in that, the cat itself holds consciousness and therefore is observing inside the box, -- observing it's own decay up until the point of death at which stage it's no longer conscious?
So, if a consciousness observing the event ensures an outcome, then there was only ever one outcome possible because the cat is conscious. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Exactly! The experiment would’ve made much more sense if the object in the box was incapable of observation. Perhaps it’s because people used to think animals were not truly conscious.
Yah you are misunderstanding the idea of measurement.
I really like your videos!! Keep up the good work
thank you! :) x
Box: meow
Schrodinger: ignore that
Why can’t you just get a glass box?
you would be observing the cat
No, a glass box is a fish tank, and only a blindingly slow and retarded pet fish would think of such things.
Doran Krotan observing would affect the result of the experiment
@@arcaipekyun4232 would it though? i could watch a murderer kill a man and would he stop? would he continue if he didn't see me? of course. of course he would. just because you can observe things most likely doesn't mean it'll change. you didn't observe it but you will still see that a murder happened in the news.
Fred The Skrub reference is not right. Thing is if there were no observers in your example, then you wouldn’t know what has really happened. As soon as you observe, you will learn it. But if you were there watching it, then you would directly learn it, so there wouldn’t be that situation where you didn’t know what happened. When you talk about schrödinger’s cat and that observing changes something, you mean that immediately when you observe that, for you that very thing will go from uncertainty to certainty. Same goes for the murderer. If there are no observers, then it would be an uncertainty, and what has happened would only be certain when someone goes to the crime scene. But if you were watching it, then the uncertainty would not happen, and the situation would be clear. You understood this wrong. Observer changes the event is not that observer changing something from happening to not. It is that with an observer there are no uncertainty.
the first time someone explained these ideas in a logical way bravo! encore!
I learned 2 things:
1.i understood this theory
2.that Stan lee did his research veeery well :)
Rip Stan lee :(
Why exactly?
You can have something that is alive and also dead. Just because we don't know if it's alive or dead, doesn't mean it's both. It is either one or the other. Obviously, I'm not much of a sciencey person. Common sense rules over weird theories for me
thank you, you explained this very clearly. this is seriously crazy stuff

@@cornemouton2740 I doubt youll regret it
Particles can only travel at the speed of light, so they cant be everywhere at once. A particle can naturally decay without being measured, but it cannot be in two states at the same time. At any given instant in time, the particle can only be in one definite state, either as a particle or a decay product. The process of decay involves the particle transitioning from one state to another over a certain period of time, during which it cannot be in both states simultaneously. The experiment was only conceptual thought experiment, not to be taken literally.

Could there be a universe where the cat puts Schrodinger in a box?
😂😂😂
Lmfao
Erwin Schrödinger was driving home one night when he was pulled over by the police. The officer asked him to step out of the car while he searched the vehicle. After a while, he went to the back of the car and opened the trunk. In that moment, the officer said, "hey do you know that you've got a dead cat in here?" To which Schrödinger replies, "Well I do now".
Great explanation. In another universe it was absolutely dreadful. Oh well, good thing we aren't there ;)
In one universe all evil dissapeared and humanity ascended to a higher state.
Oh well, good thing we aren't there ;)
Great video. Easy to understand.

Way more satisfying than any other videos over this theory
just so you know if you try this the cat will probably be dead
I spilled water on my laptop. It’s laying upside down on my pillow and I’m praying it’s okay.
I looked at it and it reminded me of the Schrödinger’s cat. Just like the cat could be dead or alive, my laptop could be damaged or fine. The cat, just like the laptop, is in both states of being either dead or alive until you check.
My question is, would it be possible to alter states however you wish?

"OH, a world where we're all evil"

I wasn't looking for an explanation of superposition, but I got it and kinda needed it.
I usually take this as the poorest theory I've ever heard
Is "observing" the cat limited to opening the box any physically seeing it or does that include listening to any sounds that might be coming from the box (which would suggest life)?
did anyone else look this up after watching the film "coherence"?
Nah, Schrödinger Flirt from me_irl

Big Bang theory
what if ONE person checks the box and they don’t tell anyone else if the cat is dead or alive. Will that effect the cats state ??? I need answers !!!
the biggest use of this theory is seen in dark season 3 by seeing that u correct understand it🤗😁😅
Best explanation yet. Thanks.
Put a camera on the box and the Universe will not split. 😊
but then you still wont know if the cat is alive or dead until you look at the camera and maybe in another universe the camera doesnt show anything there cant just be two super positions there are infinite ones and that is probably why black holes were created. too many super positions so there is super position that stops super positions. i dont know what im trying to say any more....
nope, cause now it has split, one where there is no camera put on the box
No, a passive observation has zero impact on the experiment. In this case, there is no requirement other than passive observation, to determine if the cat is alive or dead. However, at a quantum level, one must interfere with whatever is to be measured in order to gauge a difference.
A dark room, you're blindfolded. Reach out to see if there is a glass of water in front of you. You feel the table, interfering with it as you do, and suddenly you feel your hand knock over the glass of water. By sheer observation, you destroyed the coherency of the glass of water, but you did discover that it was there.
You have to alter the outcome, at a quantum level, just to know if the experiment was viable.
But a cat in a box has no such inclusions.
A better test would be to put 2 cats in a box.
These videos give me hope that my cat is still alive in another reality . In memory of Charlie who broke my heart the night he died . I love Charlie
If you replace the cat with a human, is he still both dead and alive? The human can look for himself, but why can't a cat?
Replace it with anything you want. The point is, is that Superposition is nonsense.
The whole thing with the cat is an analogy: of course the cat doesn't consider itself to be both living and dead. The point of it is to illustrate the basic concept of quantum superposition. Also I find it quite misleading to say that, if a particle is in a superposition of states, that it is literally in both states at the same time, e.g. the cat is both alive and dead. You can never observe the particle (cat) to be in more than one state at a time; the act of measurement collapses the superposition into a single state, with a certain probability of collapsing to each state depending on the exact form of the superposition state. I think it's better, though perhaps no less misleading, to say that the particle (cat) is not in any observable states (is neither alive nor dead).
Reminded me of the book Dark matter
i'm here because of that book :D , glad to find another reader here!
Only those of us who are aligned with the 8 of clubs, will know the answers to your questions. But as we are firm and unchanging. Suck eggs.
Success in understanding something can never rely
solely upon common sense, intuition, mathematics, or upon every known physical law.
Some questions which cannot be asked, formulated, or even concieved may well still have insurmountable barriers. They may always.
slight problem - the cat is a living entity with consciousness and has its own observations that are fracturing realities and collapsing wave functions (superPositions). So why would the cat care if a human was observing the box? theres a 50/50 chance the human might not make the observation from the cats perspective. what about micro-organisms inside the box? they are generating their own consciousness and effecting reality, They must be considered too. This sounds more like a god analogy. Erwin Schrodinger was very religious and i think this is about a creator. God is watching at all times, if you are good and follow his word you will receive the positive outcome etc. God = energy field.
Your "attempt" at trying to sound enlightened and knowledgeable made me laugh out loud quite heartily. Thank you.
Theycallmeroman wasn't trying to sound enlightened or knowledgeable. I asked valid questions. I'm guessing you like schrodingers theory but don't like the fact that he believes in a creator?
Exactly what I was thinking.
I was totally onboard with this comment until I saw god in it
@Theycallmeroman: And yet, it wasn't nearly as hilarious as your "attempt" at understanding him. And so all the thanks goes to you, my friend. Perhaps they should call you "inane".
Thanks, London City Girl, that was a fantastic breakdown.

Thank you!
I've watched a few quantum theory videos, such as your video on string theory. One that I'm hung up on is the theory of Schrodinger's Cat , this very theory, and the multiple universe theory that is born of it. If this theory holds true, is there a possible path where the universe might never die out? Is there a chance that there is - in an alternate universe - a species so advanced that it might reach beyond the confines of it's own universe to manipulate others? Would that not have a rebounding effect on itself? What would happen? Is there already a theory derived of these ponderings? Am I over thinking things? Am I just totally lost to the concept here? Seriously, watching these videos have left me awed and confused.
in my universe we call this "Cat's Shrodinger", it's about a Shrodinger in a box, meow.
thank you for your easy to understand explanation
Why would nobody actually do the shcrodinger cat experiment???
because it would potentially kill cats half of the time :O
Because we can't observe the experiment so we cant do it
They haven't, there be no point...As he explained, we cannot see this other Universe. Our selves in that Universe shall, we however, like they could never know that the other result happened. He never killed any cats, nor did he ever attempt it. He was simply stating a fact and logic because Cats have the strange ability to survive what other animals cannot.

This is an invitation to see an artist theory on the nature of time as a universal process of energy exchange with an emergent future relative to the atoms of the periodic table.
"There is a world where man never made it to the moon" its like me saying there is a world where the earth is flat.
Couple layers of irony here
Cat walks into the bar..
..and doesn't
ok, first of all, you stated the experiment wrong. the cat is not killed
by radiation, the radiation triggers the release of a poison, which in
turn kills the cat.
furthermore, you completely failed (or actually didnt even try) to resolve the paradox.
obviously the cat is NOT dead and alive while the lid is closed and its state is certainly NOT determined the moment you open the lid and that is NOT what this thought experiment is telling us.
the very simple explanation for this "mind-boggling" paradox is that "observation" in this context has nothing to do with US (as sentient and intelligent beings) observing it. it simply means that the particle interacts with another particle and thus has to collapse into a certain state (because the outcome of the interaction is dependent on the state of the particles at the time of the interaction). these interactions happen all the time and as soon as a certain outcome is reached, the fate of the cat is sealed, whether we open the lid or not (well, technically we can save the cat by removing it from the poisonous environment fast enough, but thats not the point)
also, i am pretty sure, that this multiverse-theory is BS. i might be wrong about this (i am not a theoretical physicist^^), but I always thought that the state of the particle at the time of the interaction actually IS determined; we are just not able to predict the state of the particle, because it is impossible (for us) to gather all the data needed, so we have to rely on probabilities (until we can observe a certain state). now, if this assumption is correct, there are not multiple possible states, so there is no reason for the universe to split.
THANK YOU. It's nice to see someone who has actually bothered to read up on this instead of spewing bullshit like in most of the other comments (and indeed the common misinterpretation in the video). The entire point of the experiment is to say "and obviously that's absurd and untrue on a macroscopic level" essentially.
Quote from Schrödinger:
"It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks."
You literally just strawmanned the video lmfao
Conner Mcmahan What? Saying that things that aren't the video *aren't in the video* is stating a fact, and as the video doesn't actually contain a) a full and correct version of the experiment and b) the purpose of the experiment, those aren't strawmen either. Amusingly, calling either of our responses a strawman is a misrepresentation you're ragging on, thus making your statement a strawman. Good job!
All strawmen are facts. And the purpose of the experiment is in the second sentence of the video
Conner Mcmahan No, the second sentence is blatantly wrong. The purpose is to point out a flaw in the Copenhagen interpretation, not to point out an aspect of quantum physics. His point was that the cat is EITHER dead OR alive, never both, so the model doesn't extend to a macroscopic level, which among other things questions when collapse occurs. The video suggests that the experiment examines quirks and doesn't mention Schrödinger's intentions and conclusions. It's misleading.
What happens if it is a transparent plastic/glass box and the cats vitals are continuously measured?
whos here after hearing this from Dark?
Quantum Mechanics does not spell the end of Materialism.
Quantum Mechanics proves that Reality does and does not exist at the same time, proves that the duality of Reality, that the two qualities of a singularity, are, of course, are not born of two different realities. The two qualities represent a Single Reality, the two qualities being distinctly different each from the other. The two cats in Schrödinger’s Box are the two, dual, qualities of a single Cat which may either dead or alive, are both dead and alive at the same time. The dead cat and the live cat is actually a single cat that is both dead and alive at the same time. The two cats represent represents a Reality that has no relative, no numerical value, that has a numerical value of Zero-0, Nada, The Nothingness, that existed prior to the moment of the creation of the first singularity of Zero-0 to make the quantum leap, be converted into a Singularity of One-1 Into the Reality of First Cause, an affect, became the direct cause of a System of Chaos which made manifest Reality of the Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the Reality of Everything that exists in the material sense of the word.
So how can a Reality both exist and not exist at the same time? The Reality that does not exist has no relative numerical value, has a numerical value of zero-0, Nothing, is the primordial, the primary, is a Superior Reality, with the Reality of First Cause, the Singularity having a numerical value of One-1 being the secondary Singularity, the Reality that does exist.
The primary, primordial Singularity is a single Reality that does and does not exist, primordially speaking does not exist, has no mass, is not measurable as to location and momentum in Space and Time which did not exist simply because it was motionless.. The Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the reality of everything was motionless, nothing having angular momentum, the velocity of speed and direction. Motion existing as a vibration, as an innate inner oscillation within each singularity of Zero-0. The first, the Reality of First Cause being a Singularity of Zero-0 that had the possibility of being converted into a second Singularity of One-1. A singularity of zero-0 and a singularity of One-1 being the same Singularity, identical, yet each is distinctly different from the other. Zero-0 being representative of Nothing and the Singularity of One-1 being uncaused, being a creation, the Reality of First Cause, the direct cause of a system of chaos that made manifest Reality of the Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the Reality of Everything that exists in the material sense of the
Word. Reality itself being born of Nothingness. As a Singularity of Zero-0 issued forth from the Event Horizon it was converted into the second of two singularities, the Reality of First Cause. 0\1

this quarantine got me searching up some crazy shit

I came here after watching dark
The point I am yet to see covered or read about which seems to be missing is that, does the cat not observe its own state? The cat has a consciousness whilst alive which essentially acts as the uncovering of the box, making the box itself redundant. Can this be true of a single particle? Can the particle itself be experiencing its environment, or is the particle different to the cat in this regard?

maybe a stupid question but why not use a glass box or another material that is transparent?
Hit or Miss? I gue-
Shut up. It's both now.
The answer to this scientific theory is that scientists have to study spirituality to get the answer. Atoms and subatomic particles move based on *thought and emotion* being vibrated from the person, meaning God and the human mind is the same thing. This is also known as the law of attraction, meaning a person attracting a red car to themselves through this process. The atoms don't come to the person on their own, it's the person causing all this to move. So to make it sound more easier: The type of thought & emotion + The vibration + the conscious and subconscious mind = The type of universe that is being created.
This doesn’t prove anything.
Thank you it helped me a lot .. keep going😊
