[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 962258, member: 1451"] T.S. Eliot has perhaps the best explanation of that phenomenon: [INDENT]Schrodinger's cat's a mystery cat, he illustrates the laws;[/INDENT] [INDENT]The complicated things he does have no apparent cause;[/INDENT] [INDENT]He baffles the determinist, and drives him to despair[/INDENT] [INDENT]For when they try to pin him down—[I]the quantum cat's not there[/I]![/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT]Schrodinger's cat's a mystery cat, he's given to random decisions;[/INDENT] [INDENT]His mass is slightly altered by a cloud of virtual kittens;[/INDENT] [INDENT]The vacuum fluctuations print his traces in the air[/INDENT] [INDENT]But if you try to find him, [I]the quantum cat's not there![/I][/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT]Schrodinger's cat's a mystery cat, he's very small and light,[/INDENT] [INDENT]And if you try to pen him in, he tunnels out of sight;[/INDENT] [INDENT]So when the cruel scientist confined him in a box[/INDENT] [INDENT]With poison-capsules, triggered by bizarre atomic clocks,[/INDENT] [INDENT]He wasn't alive, he wasn't dead, or half of each: I swear[/INDENT] [INDENT]That when they fixed his eigenstate—[I]he simply wasn't there![/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]—[/I]from [I]Old Possum's Book of Quantum Vivisection[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
