Did not watch this as I do not need to. Wave function collapse thing.
Anyway I was thinking. What if we reverse the idea. There is only this room. There is only us. Us that believe there is nothing outside of this room. There is a wave function and there is not. My, or our belief is the only thing that there is. I or we believe in 100% certainty.
What happens if we measure now?

We make the mistake to look at things at that magnitude as if they were objects. That's energy, electrons are not single objects that's why it acts the way it does. Asking why an electron acts that way is like asking what color an atom is (it has no color at that level obviously)

This is so easy to solve. Do this experiment 1000 times, and perform autopsy on the dead cat every time to determine exactly when the cat died. If the cat died just before the box is opened, it proves that the cat was always both alive and dead before the box is open. See? EASY.

The wavelength of a cat running from a physicist would be as small as an atom in that solar system Can someone explain this analogy. He says its too small to detect but then says an electron would suffice what lol

A device that makes the cat die in about an hour, but what about you put another one of the same device inside the box, and leave the cat inside the box for 10 minutes, what would be the after effect?

I thought I understood Schrodinger's. Cat. Now after having cats I realize that nobody understands cats. Which I guess answers Schrodinger's Cat question.

When we toss a coin
Either it will be heads or tails when it is in air.
So it is in a superimposed state.
This is Schrodingers coin

Does this imply that if you cut something open like a rock it will be hollow and full at the same time Or will it just be full?

If you shake the box, the cat will flip out. So therefore you can know if the cat is alive or dead without opening the box

So I have a cat in this weird superposition of being both adorable and dead, and it won't stop clawing the box. Send help.
