~Peter Drury

An engineer is said to be a man who knows a great deal about a very little, and who goes around knowing more and more, about less and less, until finally, he practically knows everything about nothing; whereas, a Salesman, on the other hand, is a man who knows a very little about a great deal, and keeps on knowing less and less about more and more until finally he knows practically nothing, about everything.

Schrödinger's Cat - The Misunderstood Pet

(Found sth interesting about Schrödinger's cat. I'll post it after it's polished)

Part I - Classical and Quantum

You know Schrödinger's Cat, right? It's as famous as 'E=MC²' in the science community. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a thought experiment by Erwin Schrödinger that showcases you can't know the state of something without measuring it. It's a Quantum thing, which is hard to understand but we'll try to unpack it in this post. Anyway, in this thought experiment, before you open the box that Schrödinger's cat is in, the cat can be assumed to both be dead and alive because you haven't seen (measured) it to know for sure. Well, at least, that's what everyone thinks it is. But that isn't the case at all. Schrödinger's cat isn't a support but a challenge to Quantum.

It's kind of a long story, so I'll try to keep it short and bold. In 1926, Schrödinger formulated a wave equation that became the building block of Quantum Physics. The equation was as essential to Quantum as much as Newton's gravitational law was to Classical Physics. As far as I can understand, the wave equation was a theoretical function that showcased that the state of a hydrogen atom changes according to the occurrence of physical events at any point in time. That means, for example, an atom can either have an "up" orientation or a "down" orientation. And depending on when you'll measure it, it will point in different directions.
