Thatababy by Paul Trap for June 06, 2014

Come again?

I think it’s something like a cat is alive and dead at the same time

It’s to do with quantum mechanics. I’ve heard of it, read about it, but still don’t really get it.

It’s a thought experiment, though cruel as it is.

In the Schrodingers Cat setup, direct observation causes the outcome to settle into one of the two possible outcomes, while, unobserved, both outcomes are simultaneously true. In this case, he’s only playing, because, fortunately for the cat, few babies have access to the radiation source and detector, much less a volatile form of cyanide.

Agreed.

:D

You don’t know anything until you bounce a photon off it, lose a photon into it or it emits a photon, and then you know what it was, for now it is different due to the photon interaction. The photon or lack thereof gives you pretty fuzzy information, since the particle related to it could have been moving in a vast number of different directions/speeds to cause such a photon interaction, and after it moves in a similar number of new possible speeds and directions. Heisenberg

CharlieTuba – great joke.

And great Thatababy today.

Side comment – Then there is the proposed Quantum Bayesianism.

This leads me right back to a Paul Trap!

The only reason I knew what Thatababy was talking about is because Sheldon tried to explain it to Penny!! lol

Thatababy is playing. Love the imagination of the cartoonist!
