Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment – Schroeder’s cat better known as Schrödinger’s cat is a though that some even call cruel experiment elaborated by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1949.So what is Schrödinger’s Cat/Schroeder’s cat? Here is a step by step guide to the experiment :

A cat and a flask containing a poison, are placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If an internal Geiger counter ( which is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation)detects radiation then the flask is shattered, releasing the poison which kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when we look in the box, we see the cat either alive or dead, not a mixture of alive and dead.

Quantum mechanics experts do push more for the cat is dead theory than the cat is alive one.
That’s the latest update on Schroeder’s Cat:Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment.

      okay suppose this experiment was valid, how do you really know if the statement “either alive or dead” makes sensable logic. how do you know if the cat was EITHER alive or dead?
