Created by Austrian physicist Erwin Schr\u00f6dinger in 1935, it looks at a theory of quantum mechanics known as the Copenhagen interpretation. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, a quantum system will exist in superposition up until the moment it interacts with the real observable world in any way. When discussing quantum theory, the Institute of Physics says that a superposition is the idea that a particle can be in two places at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just say no to cat murder.
