    No fair, you changed the outcome by observing it!

    But is this the Schrodinger's cat? Otherwise, theory still remains!

    Wait... You put your cat in a situation with a 50/50 chance of poisoning it? How cruel!

    Even worse, according to the many-worlds interpretation there is a version of you that is now mourning over the cat he killed.

    Or is it not your cat?

    Close it again... done?

    @TempestasLudi no need poison. You can instead put the cat inside a container and wait an infinite amount of time before opening it.

    The math works out and will become a schrödinger cat ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    @wowotek Ehr... The chance that a cat, being left alone, is still alive after n years is zero at infinity, not 1/2.
    Also, I am not sure whether that is enough quantum to create a schrödinger cat...

    @TempestasLudi i know the maths man cmon, that infinite time is a math joke ๐Ÿ˜…

    @wowotek Ehr... I am a mathematician, and I can verify that from a mathematical perspective, it is not very funny ;-)

    But okay, I might have been too serious in the previous comment. ;-)
