When Erwin Schrodinger came up with this theory So saying i quote "the cat will either be alive or dead, not a mixture of both" what is the probability of the cat being dead and alive in the quantum world? if so can this be explained using Schrodinger's equations within the theory? or does his equations not work with it?

What's the life expectancy of a cat? 7 years? Just wait 15 years and open the box and bet all your money that that cat is 100% dead when you open it. On second thought, without food or water, that cat will be dead within a week- guranteed
some type of decay will happen by then.

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
