I love how it looks like the cat is looking at the empty box thinking "Yo wtf???”

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

It probably is actually.

Funnily enough due to the weird quantum properties of light.

That is what it is called, but how does it work?

Wait. Shouldn't the cat be in both boxes, though? The two states are dead or alive and not nonexistent or existent

The cat's a Jedi. It fades away when it dies.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Yes, but it does not change anything to the statement, it is irrelevant whether it is illustrated with alive/dead or existing/non-existent

sitting under Schrödingers window...

1 downvote probably didn't scroll back up the 2 cm

No, this is Patrick.

No, partially reflective mirror, because it's dark outside where the cat is.
