But in the classical world of large scales, things are either this or that. The famous thought experiment is Schrodinger\u2019s cat \u2013 in which a cat is in an opaque box with a vial of deadly poison that\u2019s released on the radioactive decay of an atom. Quantum mechanics tells us that the atom\u2019sfunction can be in a superposition of states \u2013 simultaneously decayed or not decayed. So is the cat\u2019sfunction also in a superposition of both dead and alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education Saturday with Space Time.
