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? ( But then, since we already
know that there is a cat inside the box, then
we have some prior knowledge, and that means
that the problem is not completely random, is
it?)
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, since
loge1 = 0. 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.
