Schrodinger`s Cat goes back to school. And doesn`t.

In 1935 Erwin Schrodinger made his most widely known contribution to the field of quantum physics: the Schrodinger`s cat mind experiment.

If there is a cat in a box, with a decaying isotope, at the isotope`s half life, is the cat dead or alive, if you don’t look inside the box?

It’s something you have to think about for a while to really understand.

It’s the metaphor created by Schrodinger when researching electrons as waves and particles. He used that to explain that they aren’t particles OR waves, and not neither- they are both. And the cat is dead and alive.

If you don’t get it, don’t worry. But if you’re interested, our  physics tutors will help you to comprehend its meaning.
