Quote - Siwwy wabbit, twicks aw fo' kidz. As for Schrödinger's cat; the cat only cares about being in the box if he is alive, but not if he is dead. As to whether the cat is dead; the answer depends upon which observer is "observing", since the cat must be considered an observer as well. I must confess that Vile's last post in this thread had me scratching my head as well. Oh well, rather than try to puzzle that one out, I think I will go tackle something simpler...like Quantum entanglement.

There is always a third state, especially when the cat is named Greebo.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
