does the dead cat go to heaven or purgatory...
Not sure....maybe he gets a dead cat bounce and stays right here.
Obviously the cat goes to Purr-gatory. Just as a dog goes to Cur-gatory.
So, if you put a radioactive substance in a box and a poison that will be released if (if?) an atom of the radioactive substance decays, which it is already doing because it is radioactive then the entire concept of "Schrödinger's famous cat" is ridiculous.
The cat is still a cat, dead or alive, it is still a cat.
Box open, cat.
Box closed, cat.
The poison is still a poison.
Box open, poison.
Box closed, poison.
Radioactive substance is decaying, that is what makes it "radioactive."
Box open, decaying.
Box closed, decaying.
The fact that a box has a door that can be opened does not change the fact that it is a box.
Box open, still a box.
Box closed, still a box.
Time does not stop inside a box just because the "door" is closed as opposed to opened.
If that were true we would not need refrigerators, just boxes.
This same is true with the cat.
The scenario is that cat is subject to the effects of the poison in the box which creates the state of continuance of time inside the box.
The continuance of time inside the box continues the state of decaying of the radioactive material inside the box.
The continuance of time inside the box continues the ability of the trigger to change from unactivated to activated, due to the continued decay process of the radioactive material.
And for over eighty years this idiocy has continued?
