Hello and welcome to: I Don't Think That Means What You Think It Meanswhere we look at bits of scientific theory that have wiggled their way into popular cultureand have taken on a life of their own.Today we're talking about Schrodinger's cat; A famous thought experiment devised bythe Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger who helped piece physics back togetherafter Einstein and his crew blew a giant freaking hole in it back in the early 20th centurySorry to overstate how much of a giant crap circus the nineteen twenties were for physicists.Until then everything had pretty much just been good old fashion Newtonian Physicswhere you could observe objects moving and predict to how they react to various forces.But then along comes all this new ...
