Schrodinger's Cat

Now that my heart has been blown wide open...thank you, Iamit.

So, there was a discussion between two physicists one of them being Ernst Schrodinger (forget the other's name) as to the nature of particles of light quanta and how they traveled through space.

One physicist said "If I look at these photons, they travel together as a waveform" while the other said "nah, that ain't how I see it...they travel concurrently being single quanta as a stream of individual particles and not a wave".

Both were arguing their case, until it was decided to 'agree to disagree' in that light could travel BOTH as a 'waveform' and as 'individual particles' simultaneously, but then they both started to think; "how can something do that which is totally contradictory at the same time and yet still exist"?

So, Schodinger came up with a theory..."we'll take a cat...place it in a sealed box...give it a small dose of poisoned gas....how do you know the cat is dead or alive unless you go and open the box to check it...until you open that box, is the cat dead or alive?"

The other physicist thought long and hard..."you would have no way of actually knowing until the box is opened, so it could be dead...it could be alive...it could be in a coma...it could be dead/alive simultaneously...AHA! I see what you're getting at now".

Schrodinger just said "precisely!"
