Schrödinger’s cat now dead and alive in two boxes at once... - BIAD - 05-27-2016 Well, just when you think you've 'sought of' gotten your head around some of the theories the forever-learning Quantum Physicists have come up with, they've found something else to make your mind scramble!! Schrödinger’s cat can’t seem to catch a break. The unfortunate imaginary feline is famous for being alive and dead at the same time, as long as it remains hidden inside a box. Scientists have now gone one step further, splitting one living-dead cat between two boxes. In a real laboratory version of the experiment, microwaves inside a superconducting aluminum cavity take the place of the cat. Inside the specially designed cavity, the microwaves’ electric fields can be pointing in two opposing directions at the same time — just as Schrödinger’s cat can be simultaneously alive and dead. These states are known as “cat states.” Now, physicists have created such cat states in two linked cavities, thereby splitting the cat into two “boxes” at once. I'm getting a dog.

Things such as this just prove anything really is possible, things we used to think were impossible are happening all the time now, and we are continually proving ourselves wrong, or right if you theorised it and were laughed at once upon a time.

It is amazing, but I'm concerned that somewhere along the line these guys will prove that we don't -and never had, existed!! :stumped: RE: Schrödinger’s cat now dead and alive in two boxes at once... - senona - 05-27-2016 Cats are weird Definitely get a dog RE: Schrödinger’s cat now dead and alive in two boxes at once... - perfectinsanity - 05-28-2016 (05-27-2016, 03:51 PM)BIAD Wrote:(05-27-2016, 01:42 PM)perfectinsanity Wrote: Wow amazing! Oh wouldn't the plot thicken then! It could happen, we could all merely exist in someones imagination for all we know. A very complex imagination but.. Lol I love metaphysics and thinking about reality, it drives me crazy though. |
