Split the Universe
Just now, before you hit the button, two future universes are possible. After pressing the button, though, you will live in only one. A real-web version of the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment, clicking the red button in the featured astronaut image should transform that image into a picture of the same astronaut holding one of two cats -- one living, or one dead. The timing of your click, combined with the wiring of your brain and the millisecond timing of your device, will all conspire together to create a result dominated, potentially, by the randomness of quantum mechanics.
Some believe that your personally-initiated quantum decision will split the universe in two, and that both the live-cat and dead-cat universes exist in separate parts of a larger multiverse. Others believe that the result of your click will collapse the two possible universes into one -- in a way that could not have been predicted beforehand. Yet others believe that the universe is classically deterministic, so that by pressing the button you did not really split the universe, but just carried out an action predestined since time began. We at APOD believe that however foolish you may feel clicking the red button, and regardless of the outcome, you should have a happy April Fool's Day.

the cat is half-dead, says the pessimist
ReplyDeleteno, it's half-alive, says the optimist
the engineer comes, and says, a cat half the weight would hold the same live biomass while being fully alive
Schrödinger arrives and says, keep the cat the same but have parallel performances of the experience share live cats two by two
The interpretation of the Physics about the duality of the matter and of the electromagnetic wave, is completely wrong! Imagine seeing the cat through a window while the cat goes back and forth and you see only by frame. Now ask yourself: is the cat's head or the cat's tail? The cat's paws? The cat is the trunk! The window gave you a wrong interpretation of the phenomenon The electromagnetic wave does not change at will their status: the electromagnetic wave nature is both wave and particle, we are unable to devise an experiment that can see it in its entirety: "a Asymmetric Wave"
