I'm trying to wrap my head around this famous thought experiment.Let me know if I'm meowing up the wrong tree:As best I can tell, Herr Schrödinger is suggesting that a radioactive atom can't be in a superposition of having decayed and not decayed, because then we'd have to accept that a cat could be in a superposition of being alive and dead, and isn't that ridiculous? Where I stumble is understanding why is this ridiculous? It's plainly contrary to common sense, but I think I can get over that, so what's the problem?
>>16993548Schrödinger must have been a diddler then, touching general areas...
>>16993504Schrodinger was making a claim that the Copenhagen interpretation is retarded.Many Physicists at the time, and today were debating the implications of the mathematical formulisms of quantum mechanics.One idea is particles have no definite properties until an "observation"Schrodinger was making a point anout the Copenhagen interpretation of a quantum system not being resolved until directly measured by a classical experiment. The cat part is only there as a meme.This is an excercise like "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?" "If a particle decays and no one observes it, did it really decay?"
You can just open the box and look, or the cat would be panicking and scratching and making noise. It is in a box, in front of you, not millions of miles away. Just another bullshit one for the intelligent to mentally masturbate over. There are far better thought experiments. It its about atoms then it makes more sense but why can't he just say atoms?
>>16993504cats are not one particle
WOW, what horrible low IQ responses. Where to start? Half of you have no idea what an "observation" is in the dictionary let alone as far as physics is concerned. Some of you are invoking gravity as if a dead cat and living cat have different gravitational pulls aka different mass. They don't. The rest of you are babbling on about "Muh Common Sense" when all of physics is unicorn farts and fake dark matter anyways, common sense is not applicable. Schrödinger was a product of his time and had a huge ego and human failings like being too short sighted or set in his ways. Many big minds of his time failed to grasp the changing tides of physics and he thought his little joke quite clever and biting. In reality he argued against himself and will forever be remembered as the guy helped mainstream quantum physics. Now what Schrödinger failed to understand was the Quantum world would go on to imply many many deep paradoxes and questions about reality itself which to this day are still being discovered and hotly debated. Please see the Nobel Award winning research about Local Realism which also disproves Einstein's objections to quantum spooky action at a distance. See more old timers who are just wrong. Many such cases.So yes, Schrödinger is correct that the cat is in superposition inside the box unless and/or until observed. He said it ironically to make fun of the idea but the irony of the universe won and he's actually correct, despite himself. >Does a tree falling in the woods make a sound if no one is around to hear it?No, no it doesn't. >If a particle decays and no one observes it, did it really decay?No, no it doesn'tThe real "common sense" is realizing these uncomfortable and seemingly impossible things are in fact true and the reality we live in. Schrödinger is like the men in Plato's Cave chained to the ground convinced the shadows on the wall are real.https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/summary/
What's the ascended take to the V-tol problem, is bending the propeller the ascended take or are there better solutions out there?
>>16995020V-tol aircraft are obsolete since their primary missions can be carried out better by drones. Proper bombers can't rise vertically and proper fighters beat out anything that rises vertically. These had a niche in sort of low impact low scale missions but drones just do those better and cheaper. There's no real reason to develop these aircraft any further until you can at the very least ditch the pilot. Also those do not have "propellers" if you mean bending the exhaust then yes that's the best way to get something super heavy like this up in the air while also maintaining the ability to fly fast.

Living things don't live longer because they don't need to. But there is no hard rule against living a long time. Some things live a very long time. I think you're just being superstitious.

How long before someone makes a bomb using antimatter? CERN's BASE experiment actually carried antimatter using a fucking truck for kilometers. It's easy to transport them using cryogenics but in the wider sense, strapping a small truck to a bomber plane should not be hard for any modern army.I have read a friend's thesis on this experiment and the ion trap they used. I think it will be easy to implement as a bomb given you can produce large quantities of this matter. Maybe that's the limiting factor? >inb4 usa is already doing it
>>16993573>explode it more efficientlyyou'll doom us all kek
>>16992576>>16993570The only use case of Antimatter bomb is to destroy planet-killer asteroids. With our nukes, we need thousands of tsar bombs being launched to the space by several hundreds of rockets simultaneously, to destroy the astroid. You can make a 2 ton antimatter bomb and launch it using just one rocket and vaporise the asteroid completely. And if you want to reduce the number of nukes and rockets to just deflect the astroid instead of vaporising it, you need a decade or two headstart,.... With antimatter bomb you need only a week.It's actually the best method (and needs the least amount of warning time) compared to other sci fi methods like laser array or a huge space ship to pull the asteroid with gravitational force. Also I think antimatter bomb for earth defence system is the only use case of the anti matter, for the reason that I mentioned here >>16992263 : it's dangerous and risky to work with Using it as a power generation source on earth or rocket propulsion system, is like living next to a time bomb, except this bomb can erase a city.
>>16992156Unless we find some sort of runaway reaction that can produce a large quantity of Antimatter from a small beginning sample, it's always going to be cheaper and simpler to go Thermonuclear. And these things are already the peak of human engineering
What if it wasn't a bomb, but a collimated beam of bound state positronium?
>>16992156You need like 0.3 g of antimatter to be on the energy level of the hiroshima bomb.
Let's talk iron and iron deficiency. You ARE hitting your nutritional goals with it right? If you're feeling weak all the time get yourself a nice steak, NO fucking supplements get yourself the real thing now only weak beta male cucks take iron supplements over some nice succulent red meat.To the nerds that know, how long does it take for your iron levels to become normalized? Suppose you were iron deficient and ate a steak this evening: would you have levels of iron in your system that would be considered adequate tomorrow morning?
>>16994762Instead of iron deficienc, I think what we really need to be talking about is big black cock deficiency. That's when, you know, you're one of these whitrs bigots racists and have refused the BBC in your ass, and it causes all sorts of issues like inflammation, dementia, etc. If you really value your health, hop on the Bbc, it cures basically every disease, you just gotta try it, man.

Why is 3/3 equal to 1?Ok, so 1/3 is 0.33333 forever. 2/3 is 0.6666 forever. So, if that's the case, why is 3/3=1 and not 0.99999 forever? Where does the last little bit get added to 3/3 to have it equal 1?
>>169923009x9 is the same as 9x.9, dumbfuck, no matter how many 9s you put there it will never be 9, axiomatically stating that x=.999.. and then magically turning x into 1 two lines later is a perfect example why 0.999..=1 dogmatists are braindead retards
>>16991740because [math]3 \neq 0[/math] and thus [math]3^{-1}[/math] is the multiplicative inverse of [math]3[/math] which, by definition, requires [math]3 \cdot 3^{-1} = 1[/math]
The little bit leftover approaches zero and at infinity, is zero
>>169917403/3 = (3 x 1) / (3 x 1) = 1/1 = 1
>>16991740>Why is 3/3 equal to 1?Were this not to be the case, three body systems would stabilize and matter would be forced into it's minimal possible energy state meaning energy in mass form and subsequently observable matter could not exist>Where does the last little bit get added to 3/3 to have it equal 1?This math likely arises from the slight asymmetry of the early universe - that "missing" bit is probably infinitely small, or at least as small as the difference between matter and antimatter in the early universe

There aren't only 2 possible outcomes, there are 13 when the invariant is the rank of the card. From that perspective he is arbitrarily putting the probability of drawing the Ace at 6.5/13, which is absurd. If there were only two mutually exclusive events, then randomness would actually dictate that the probability is 50/50 is the catch. But something can be not an ace and a king distinctly from not an ace and a queen therefore these events are additive. The Kolmogorov Axioms provide the rigorous foundations for probability and the main one is that probability is subadditive, meaning that it is additive but only over disjoint events.
