    Thank you, schrödingers cat is one of those things that a bunch of people have heard of but it seems nobody actually understands

      It’s quantum science, yeah nobody actually understands it and schrödinger was one of first to publicly state that and while doing so helped people getting to understand what scientists have found out about the weird stuff that’s going on the quantum level

        Did it actually help people understand it?

        In my experience most laymen’s explanation involve knowledge of the word superposition but not any clarity on what it is and they treat the cat in the box as a real cat

        Every once in a while someone seems to understand it but that seem mostly limited to people who had to take a class on quantum/ statistical mechanics
