Can the cat get out of the box?
6th March 2014
The Schrödinger's cat and its gruesome fate is one of the most discussed thought experiments in physics. Looks like the Schrödinger's cat is still inside the box and it is possibly going to die as the time axis approaches infinity. Why can't the Schrödinger's cat get out of the box the way Pixel did? It is a known fact that a potential well no matter how shallow it is, has at least one state. Therefore an observer in a discrete measurement space will have to make at least one measurement for problem which can be solved with infinitesimal effort. We note that the entropy in this case will be zero. As the observer's capability is reduced the number of measurements go up and consequently for an unsolvable problem the number of measurements become infinite which represents an infinite well. ![]() ![]() Information on www.ijspace.org is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
