Schrodinger Revisited
Have you heard about Schrodinger’s cat? Schrodinger, a German psychologist, put a cat inside a box with a small hole at the top. At mealtime, Schrodinger first rang a bell and then fed the cat some fish through the hole. Eventually, the cat presumably began to drool and soak the box after the bell rang, simply because it had been conditioned to know food was coming. However, since Schrodinger was unable to see into the box, he had to conclude that there was a chance the cat might not even be alive and that the box itself was drooling.
Re: Schrodinger Revisited
Cats should not be toyed with and respected,
It's cruel to do that......

Re: Schrodinger Revisited
THE Schrodinger Cat experiment was only a thought experiment. It never was, or could be, performed in the real world. Perhaps in the quantum world, but we can't get there from here.
Re: Schrodinger Revisited
I think the humor of the story somehow took a quantum leap into oblivion.
