Well I didn't really mean that as a question, more asking would that have the same effect as this hypothetical photograph being taken. If so, then the wave function would collapse almost instantly after the box as closed? As you say, perhaps this is not worth worrying about as we haven't...

Thanks dmitry I will check them out. Because, regarding Dr chinese's reply earlier (thanks btw!) about how a photograph would collapse the cats state, wouldn't, say, particles inside the box have the same effect? as they are interacting with the cat. or are we supposed to ignore that for the...

Hi guys. Am a complete newbie to quantum mechanics but would love to find out a bit more about it! I have a few questions about the Schrodinger's cat experiment, which are probably very basic but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could just explain them to me! Basically, my...
