I noticed that someone has the user name @SchroedingersLion and I have to comment.
I imagine the same experiment as before - but instead there's a hungry sleeping lion in the box with an alarm clock wired to the decay detector.
In this new experiment, the observer stays in the box with the alarm clock.
If the observer is still alive at the end of an hour, an observation has been made.
Otherwise, is he still in a superposition of dead and alive?
No, I'm not serious. But it's an entertaining thought.
