Imagine a plate of pizza with various toppings. Each topping, like a spin of the cat, exists in multiple states until observed. But, just like a good pizza, the act of observing it changes the outcome.
Quantum Mechanics 101: Schrödinger's Equation
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: The act of measurement changes the outcome. Like a good game of chance, you can't know for certain what you're getting until you take a bite.
Learn more about entanglement and why the toppings on your pizza are always connected.
Imagine your roommate, like Schrödinger's cat, is in a box. They're not paying rent, not doing chores, but you're not sure if they're alive or not. Until you open the box, that is.
Quantum Mechanics 101: Schrödinger's Equation
Your roommates are simultaneously paying rent and not paying rent, eating all the food and not eating all the food. It's a superposition of states, man.
Until you open the box, the roommates are in a state of superposition, like Schrödinger's cat. You can't be certain if they're alive or dead... or if they're paying rent or not.
