I’ve always wondered
about Schröedinger’s cat–
specifically the end state
of the experiment.Imagination shows plainly
or is it hopefully? that the cat
jumped out of the box while alive
and sauntered off in time for supperIt would be a shame if the poor feline–
what was her name?– was to meet
her demise in the negative state
and failed to emerge none-the-worse
for wear in another dimension.Well –now I find out that
although there was a Schröedinger–
he may or may not have had a cat,
and if he did there was no box, either,
the dear fellow was simply making light
of some Quantum Theory ideas of
colleagues who believed in it all.Impossible! said Schröedinger to his pals
because a cat was of matter too big
for such an experiment to work at all
and anyway, the whole process was silly
and way too complicated to contemplate…
and that is all supposing that the cat herself
was willing to even consider getting into a box
that was not of her personal choosing© Sometimes, 2016
Here is a link to an amusing insight into the whole incident of Schröedinger and the cat-in-the-box affair.
