It is morbid and I hate it but I also know that movie SE7EN is just a story told by actors, and I could tell they did a good job because I didn't want to look in the box lol. Spacey was the evil villan, Freeman and Pitt are the good guys and Paltrow was Pitts wife. I saw it once and I will never see it again.

@blackmage999 2 жыл бұрын

Schrödinger's cat is not a quantum system itself but a normal cat that is affected by a quantum system. The original thought experiment places a toxin in the box that is released by the radioactive decay of a particle which is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. In this setting you cannot know if the particle has decayed enough to release the toxin until you measure the particle (opening the box). This entangles the cat with the particle.

@juliocesar4442 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. This whole video was in fact a bad description about Schrodinger's cat. There is a point where he basically says that the cat being alive and dead is a consequence of our lack of knowledge since we didn't open the box to make the measurement and that is nonsensical. In fact, Schrodinger's cat was elaborated by Erwin to elucidate what was, according to his thoughts, an incomplete description of reality provided by the quantum theory.

@irinotecanhcl 2 жыл бұрын

Also, as to the "why a dead/alive cat" question, as opposed to say a coin toss, Schrödinger at the time didn't believe that this was possible, so he came up with the most absurd analogy he could to show how ridiculous the idea of quantum superposition is.

Sometimes Chuck hits his stride and is more than just silly. This episode was excellent because Chuck was on fire and Tyson was his usual self. Very helpful, very informative! Thanks for this!

It's intriguing what he says at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> about the scientific illiterate who thinks consciousness affects what is observed, as if he wasn't the one who made us think that way when he starred in the Cosmos documentary

Good catch. Contradiction and hubris don't apply to him. So he says. There are all kinds of cult leaders.

I remember when the first Bowmar calculator came out in the early to mid 1970s. It had only the 4 basic functions and cost $180, the monthly rent for my 3-bedroom apartment (split 3 ways). I was taking physics at the time, and I was jealous of those who could afford a calculator because I had to use a lousy slide rule. Today, I have a basic calculator sitting in front of me that cost less than $5, and it does square roots.

Was it a 15" Pickett or a 12 incher, or even a "cheeper" one like I had, plastic, and not aluminum. Computer geeks at Purdue extension learning Cobol and Fortran withe their 15" yellow Pickets dangling from their belts like Excalibur in leather scabbards Sneered at them, and they ended up running things

I consider you my generation's Carl Sagan. Chuck - you are the perfect wingman for Neil, and bring so much to the show, kudos brother. Thank you to all involved in StarTalk

I love these talks. I find all kinds of science fascinating. How things work, what makes them tick, all of it. I live how you break it up into a simpler way to think about it. The problem is I often listen to them on my personal laptop while I'm working on my work laptop and I focus too much on the video and now what i'm doing at work and I have to keep starting over with what i am doing. LOL

I learned to do computations on a slide rule - no calculators yet. It was slow and tedious but in the end, I understood the process that led me to the answer in a way I never would have done pushing buttons on a calculator..
