- TL;DR Summary
- In Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, am I right to say that the cat and the the atom are not truly entangled at the start?
So if the the room is large and the cat starts walking away from the atom, the probability of the decayed atom influencing the cat decreases...
When entangled particles are created, say a pair of electrons with opposite spins, they are truly entangled even when taken far apart.
So would it not be better for this thought experiment to use two cats which hug each other in outer space. At some stage the cats get angry and push each other apart and fly away from each other. So if we let them fly for a long time and suppose the vacuum is perfect and they don't emit or receive any radiation, both cats are still entangled, and measuring their spins when they are 10 light years away will produce correlating results.
