========== One of the biggest secrets of physics is that
we still don't fundamentally understand whathappens when the smallest things interact
with big things - that is, when quantum mechanicsmeets our everyday world.
You've probably heard of the "Schrodinger'sCat" experiment where a particle (in this
case a cat) is in a superposition of two states(both dead and alive) at once, until it interacts
with the outside world - normally a photonof light that we send in to see what's going
on (but it could also just be a random particlethat has nothing to do with us). Upon interaction
with the outside world, the cat is observedas being either dead, or alive, but not both.
The problem is, physics can't explain howthe cat, or particle...
