Why is Schrödinger's Cat so popular?

I am studying physics, currently writing my Master's thesis. Before I was confronted with quantummechanics (QM) in my curriculum, I always heard of Schrödingers cat and never understood that alive and dead paradox. Getting a first look into QM, my fascination of that "experiment" is reaching the rock bottom. Is is only an example, that the principles of QM are different or a little strange compared to classical mechanics, and that you cant transfer them one by one to the macroscopic world.

May anyone explain me - the cat lovers and the haters - what is the fascination of the experiment, what are the obstacles and what did I miss?

I recently heard about this young adult novel in which Schrödinger’s cat and Pavlov’s dog team up for a cross country adventure

So I head down to the library to see if they had a copy for my 10 year old daughter. The librarian said that my description rang a bell but she wasn’t sure if it was there or not

Cat in the box, Schrödinger's cat?

https://preview.redd.it/cicxkg7t0mz71.jpg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5721c399eb634ea0a031eba31cf5ae4d9b611832

I just had a bit of a realization: He has posted cats and boxes, what, twice now?

This reminded me of Schrodinger's cat.

Tinfoil on.

In simple terms, Schrödinger stated that if you place a cat and something that could kill the cat (a radioactive atom) in a box and sealed it, you would not know if the cat was dead or alive until you opened the box, so that until the box was opened, the cat was (in a sense) both "dead and alive".

If I were to guess, I would suggest that the cat represents the "global stock market", and the radioactive substance could be a catalyst (GME, Evergrande, Hyperinflation etc.).

I also feel as though, with the thought experiment, that we haven't yet observed the cat's condition inside the box (as it hasn't been revealed). For all we know, the market could already be dead due to the catalyst, and we just need to peer into the box.

Tinfoil off.

In the spirit of fanservant friday I have this. Servant foreigner: Emma 'Cat' Schrödinger

*Disclaimer, don’t play the game so I have no idea of what to do with in game effects, so instead I have some descriptions, let me know what you think*

Name: Emma ´Cat´ Schrödinger ((aka Schrödinger’s cat) I had just chosen a random german cat name)

Class: foreigner

Source: A thought experiment of Erwin Schrödinger (1935), both true and false

Attribute: earth

Alignment: chaotic neutral

Suite: Quick, Arts, Arts, Arts, Buster

Traits: existence outside the domain, female, humanoid, Hominidae servant, extremely weak to enuma elish

Parameters

- Strength: E

- Endurance: E

- Agility: C

- Mana: A

- Luck E(A)

- NP: EX

Skills

Personal

- Instinct(cat): A

Emma is a cat, would be weird if she didn’t have them.

- Humanities Knowledge on physics: B

Emma knows everything, humanity knows about (quantum)physics. her knowledge on other sciences is limited to what relates back to physics. she likes to think of herself as a genius because of this but she really isn’t. Or at least she is a genius in the same way google is a genius. She knows a lot and has access to that knowledge, but she herself is not that smart and even seems to be lacking in common sense and etiquette. ‘What do you mean Emma needs to use silverware, she never needed to do so before, why does she need to do so now!?’.

- Paradoxical existence: EX

Emma embodies different possibilities at the same time and can switch between them, thanks to this she can be at different places in a moment’s notice because there exist a possibility that she was there instead. This also means that she is really difficult to get rid of because as long as there exist a possibility where in she survives, she will. Paradoxical existence is also the reason behind her weird luck stat. she is both the luckiest and unluckiest person at the same time and sadly has less control of that. Because of the way that Enuma Elish functions, it is able to harm her in way that paradoxical existence can’t just undo.

Class

- Existence outside the domain: E

The existence of multiple possibilities existing at the same time is the thing that qualifies her as a foreigner. But her abilities are all still within the laws of reality, explaining why it is so low.

- Independent action: B

Once again Emma is a cat, did you really expect her to act differently and for it to not be expressed as a skill.

NP

Since his return from his self imposed exile years ago, I have found Dave Chappelle’s metamorphosis from “just” one of the greatest comedians working today (as if that’s a small thing), to, quite possibly, one of the preeminent philosophers of popular culture in the 20th century

worthy of serious scholarly examination. But I’ll admit that, initially, I didn’t really “get” what he was trying to say in reference to a certain community that he seems to be at odds with.

Until today.

Because now, every major mainstream media outlet is now trying to literally rewrite what what the definition of a man or a woman is, and it appears that a significant portion of society is ready to go right along with it.

He’s not just a comedian, a philosopher, or a thinker.

Now it appears that he is a prophet as well.

Schrödinger’s cat/multiverse theory

Have you ever wondered that the concept of Schrödinger’s cat both proves and disproves multiverse theory on paper if you follow the rules of quantum theory and probability?

Both have to exist until viewed meaning you have a theoretical fixed point in two separate dimensions, one where the cat is, and one where the cat isn’t.

What more fucked is as soon as you view the cat, you destroy the other probable universe. So are we universe prime? Or are we just waiting for someone to open the box?

Drunken thoughts….

Schrödinger’s cat is either dead, awake or asleep.

There are some reasons why it won't be easy to read this. Especially for professionals. I am not a professional, but we might agree intelligence is non-binary. Lots of things have very little to do with binary as I see it. I see ternary as being much more useful.

I might start by saying, I've not set out to say that researchers don't need doctorates. I'm not trying to make claims to have achieved anything yet. I'm looking to prove my irrational thoughts,  seeing what numbers will do so I might see what our use of squares is blocking us from doing.

All this came about because I can't accept that a device I invented can only be modelled with Lorentz force calculations, to me it seems obvious it can be much more simply drawn up using ternary graphs. I can't model it myself.

I've felt something non-binary in this device. We all have. It's in how gears mesh together, but also in how they won't interact. I want to model this using the maths of nature, not the maths of mathematicians. If used in a system where the resistance is magnetic flux, my device becomes a flux capacitor.

I've spent just over a year now talking with mathematicians. It has been explained to me, ad nauseum, that mathematicians write as much maths as they can in the hope scientists will one day invent or discover things that contains bits of confusing maths, then the scientists will consult the mathematicians and they'll work it out. To me, this approach has filled maths with a whole bunch of nonsense with absolutely nothing to do with how our world works. and nobody seems to have been bothering too much with ternary, outside of '80s computing. There's smatterings, but no big push in this direction.

Let's take for example the saying "two wrongs don't make a right". In our number lines and Cartesian graphs, they do because theres a zero. In maths we have this unmissable concept of zero, x - x, yet I haven't ever encountered any vacuums when I've stamped a flower to mush. Hold three fingers up then take them down to form a fist, theres still 4 fingers and a thumb. We live in a word where energy cant be lost, just transformed, yet we have a maths full of vortexes. Even a kid understands 4 - 4 = 0. There's something dodgy somewhere. I think it's something to do with our use of binary polarities, squares and zero.

So what I realised I wanted was a geometric link between the geometry of nature and maths, because binary arithmetic doesn't have it. There is one. Not one I've writte

Are abandoned houses (akiya) squatted sometimes in Japan? How popular is akiya in Japanese culture?

I learned that due to demographic drift and decline there is a lot of abandoned houses in Japan. Where are those houses predominantly located (in what regions of Japan)? Are there any wholly abandoned settlements and if yes, are they remote or can be close to the populated areas?

Do Japanese people sometimes use these houses illegally simply for squatting (hermits or runaway youth communes) or maybe as a compounds for criminal activity? Were there any notorious incidents related to akiya?

Are there any (crime, mistery or horror probably) popular Japanese books or films using akiya as premises?

In my country (Russia) thousands of villages became extinct as well. Not anywhere very close to me though, I didn't manage to visit any and get a feel yet.
