Topic: Schroedinger's cat existed dead and alive only THEORETICALLY and in PROBABILITY

It was not LITERALLY both dead and alive at the same time, as amateurs seem to think.

Without direct observation, you don't know that for sure.

the cat was a mere story invented for showing how the macro world would make no sense if it operated according to the way that the quantum mechanical model of the tiny world apparently does

that is, it shows that we don't know what the hell is going on, and the best we can do is come up with models of reality that don't necessarily make sense

It doesn't need to make sense, it is what it is and we need to change what we think makes sense to fit it not the other way around.

Bitch that cat is undead as far as I am concerned until I see it one way or the other.

nah that's silly

we can't have direct access to reality, ever

even our own senses are indirect access

the best we can do is models
