ok ill use a cat instead of a person for would be ugly to kill a person even in the imagination though a cat doesn't know how to gamble:

shrodinger cat is playing french roulete and every time he loses the life terminating device with a 50% chance is activated

what would happen from the perspective of the cat?

would his chances to win at roulette increase?

as i see it every time he wins there are two winning cats in two different worlds while when he loses just one living cat remains

so supposing the many world theory true he has double chance to win than to lose

what quantum school would make this true?

None.

Neither Schrodinger's cat nor the many-worlds interpretation work the way you think they do, so the questions you're asking here don't make much sense. Two things that you may want to try:
1) Read through some of the many past threads here about Schrodinger's cat.
2) Find and read a book that accurately presents quantum mechanics. You could do worse than Giancarlo Ghiradi's "Sneaking a look at God's cards".

This thread is closed, although as usual anyone can ask any mentor to reopen it if there is more that needs ot be said.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
