Shuyajin Neoklassisch Who believes this state of being 'dead and alive' is possible? Everyone is alive yet paradoxically everyone is in fact dead. For they do not know what life actually means and deny the causality in which allows life to even exist. They're alive, but to them their dead inside. Besides that. Quantam physics is still a, hugely yet to be understood, science. Science has nothing to do with the reality of life and death. biggrin
...Could you please explain that? I for one don't have the slightest idea what you're trying to get at.

For the love of all that is good and holy, the cat is a thought experiment.
The cat does not now, and never has, existed.
There is no philosophical debate, unless you are talking about the morality of thought experiments on animals.
What the cat thinks does not matter. It is an imaginary cat.
There is no box in which the cat exists, and it IS all in our heads. That is the nature of a thought experiment.
Tengu: you have the basics of the idea, but what you are missing is that the actual state of the cat is fairly inconsequential. The real end-point of the whole situation is: probability and statistics. At any point in time, we don't know if a given radio-active particle has "decayed" to a stable form, unless we actually physically examine it. We can make guesses and assumptions by certain information available, but we can't be sure until we check (that is, until we open the box and look).
Excluding myself, Z, Shirou, and Verdebnis... this thread is an example of why you don't try to explain scientific concepts to non-science people through analaogies. They only end up proving that they don't understand the analogy... and half of them don't really want to. Zombie cats are just too much fun. stare
