Systematically Dismantling Atheism

[pocaracas]

I'm sorry if I was taught physics in the wrong school... but that's how I learned it... or how I understood the teaching...

The point was that we can't know in which state the cat is, so we attribute a probability to each of the possible states.... and that (If I remember correctly) is the wave function that goes into the Schrödinger equation.

It's a little more subtle than that, Schrodinger is not telling us that we are uncertain about it's state but that uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of the state in which Quanta exist.

Schrödinger was satirizing the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.

Allow me to mash your two inputs together.
So the Copenhagen interpretation was the one that said that "the cat" was
in a superposition of states... the fundamental uncertainty.
While Schrödinger says that can't be, the cat is either dead or alive, but we don't know and we can't know, until we look in the box. And this "we" may as well just be an unconscious measuring machine.
However, the Copenhagen interpretation is still the most widely accepted one... interesting... I guess the math is same regardless of how you interpret that detail.
