I hate this trope so much because half the time it doesn't make sense, it just makes the movie writers look smart and tricks any midwits watching into thinking they are smart.
they actually did the pen through fodling paper shit in the new thor movie
cringed so fricking hard
huh it’s almost like sci-fi movies are made for kids so they show it to explain the concept to children who otherwise wouldn’t get it
Who the frick doesn't understand the concept of a portal in this day and age?
Portals are about as real as lightning coming out of magical wooden stick
Eat your words
people who havent heard of a portal before
How to become a TV writer:
1. Be israeli
2. Befriend or be related to other israelites working in TV
This is not a good method and means a lot of morons get jobs they never should.
Listen ok it’s the worst system I’ll grant you that, but it’s better than all the rest for making me lots of money and making dutiful mind-slaves of all you stupid goyim
i just got a job at a israeli run business and holy shit its insand

the stereotypes are real, bros. im one of two nonjews there and its been insane how good of a gig this is
>the outcome of something is uncertain (extremely common scenario)
>redditors: OH MY SCIENCE! THIS IS JUST LIKE SCHRODINGER'S CAT
why
I remember a syfy show where they used schrodinger's cat as a way to explain the viewers that as long as you don't know the outcome of an impossible scenario the chances are 50/50 because you either achieve it or not. I shut off the tv right there. Was Dark Matter or a show around that time, Continuum?
Wtf, I love nerdshit now!
This is technically correct for anything in a binary. It's always one or the other therefore its always 50/50
Only Steins;Gate explained it properly.
frick off weeb
Steins;Gate couldn't even explain cause and effect properly.
What is the correct explanation for it? I heard it was originally invented as a critique of uncertainty principle which would explain why it sounds stupid.
That's basically true. Schrodinger thought the copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics was stupid and came up with it as an example of something that must be true if they're correct.
The cat is perpetually in two states until it is observed. Yes, it was a critique of quantum mechanics because the cat is either dead or not, it can't be both at the same time.
It was Schrodinger trying to tell Einstein that Copenhagen was an idiot.
shouldnt schrodinger have realized einstein was an idiot too?
He both did and didn't realize it at the same time, but since none observed it by asking him it remained in the superposition
The whole irony of it is Schrodinger's thought experiment was expressly designed to demonstrate how stupid another theory he was criticizing was. Somehow it became representative of it though.
Scientific version of "Chad Yes" meme.
it's more like when flat earthers came up with their "view" and then someone points out to them gravity wouldnt work and then they go "oh yeah...gravity must not be real, it makes perfect sense!"
no
it wasnt a question dork.
you are stupid
no u
no
flat earther detected
>Somehow it became representative of it though.
because it was proven correct?
No it wasn't
it literally was. Only morons are still coping with it.
Nothing to do with the uncertainty principle -- that's just a function of fourier transforms.
It's just a fricking thought experiment. It's not stating that it's what's actually happening, just illustrating that at a quantum level particles are in a superposition where (within a given area) it seems to exist in every possible state at once. Upon observing it with tools, the it collapses into one location. It isn't necessarily the act of observing it that causes this really, just by interacting with it we are changing its state because of how sensitive everything is at this level. Some will conclude that human consciousness has some kind of effect on particles but it's really more like there's no way for us to study this stuff without accidentally fricking it up because even exposing it to light will ruin it.
this is incorrect
Not that guy, but how is he wrong then?
>this is a layman misconception due to the term observer which does not refer to human observation but particle interaction.
Isn't that what he said with:
>It isn't necessarily the act of observing it that causes this really, just by interacting with it we are changing its state because of how sensitive everything is at this level.
Honestly, I don't know much about physics because it's all unnecessarily jargon-filled abstractions, but what he said sounds roughly right to me.
>Isn't that what he said with:
I felt he was too ambiguous
it is right, it maybe has certain layman elements to it but it is still correct. this entire thread is trash the entire rick and morty episode is a joke about exactly these types of people in the thread. its a comedy show and it made a joke about it and autism causes these people to freak out about it because they think its serious
>Some will conclude that human consciousness
this is a layman misconception due to the term observer which does not refer to human observation but particle interaction.
>Some will conclude that human consciousness has some kind of effect on particles
every time. I bet you also think "observing" means watching it.
>it's the guy who thinks he understands it but actually doesn't
oh no no no
>I heard it was originally invented as a critique of uncertainty principle which would explain why it sounds stupid.
It is, and almost nobody who brings it up seems to know this.
The general principle is. Its true that with an observation-proof box, relative to an outside observer, the catbox wave function is in a superposition.
Do some more googling, gays. There is no more proof today that the copenhagen interpretation is correct than when it was first postulated.
>There is no more proof today that the copenhagen interpretation is correct than when it was first postulated.
>Proof
It's up to physicists to agree upon what happens and most still lean into Copenhagen, although it seems the pendulum is swinging towards multiverse these days. It's probably something like 60% Copenhage, 39% manyworld, and 1% else like Bohm's et al
The truth isn't democratic
Ok?
Superposition and Copenhagen are not the same thing.
Relational QM is the clearly correct interpretation.
Science as an epistemology is not concerned with truth.
It's moron bait. If anyone takes it seriously they are moronic. It's impossible to be both dead and alive at the same time
>It's impossible to be both
its not about being, its about third party perception
to piss off autists and niel degrasse "ackhually" types
yikes
Shrodingers cats basically illustrates that there are a lot of cats floating around space and if you o serve them then they’re cats. If you can’t observe them then they’re cats that you can’t see. Made big waves when it came out in 2014

>what’s for adults? The Bible, obviously.
>Why do moronic writers do this?
Because Schrodinger's cat is one of those things that makes people with slightly above average intelligence feel like they're very smart because they've heard of it and there's a big market for that. About a third of the society basically forms their social and political ideology around conforming to beliefs and attitudes which they perceive as making them "smart" regardless of whether they actually believe or understand those beliefs.
