Schrodinger's Cat. What say you?

RE: Schrodinger's Cat. What say you?
(October 14, 2020 at 8:53 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: The point of view of the cat is immaterial - it is the subject of the experiment, not the observer. In the original formulation, the subject was a keg of gunpowder that could exist in the superposition of exploded/unexploded. No one would seriously contend that a keg of gunpowder is the observer of the experiment.

The experiment isn’t about a cat.

Boru

He was wrong. "You don't know, until you look "is one thing. But, " I do know because I don't know, because I left out other parameters" is exactly what he did.

QM and PM are not defending "anything goes" as the cat thought experiment would suggest.
