Isn't Schroedinger's cat actually two states?
And when you open the box a reality is choosen and it becomes either one or the other.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes *shakes head*
Before the box is opened it is not in
both possible states, but rather in
neither of them, which is roughly what I said earlier.
Active = You punch.
Neutral = No punching.
Passive = You get punched.
Yes indeed - that is possibly the most likely candidate for the Truth Election.
Alive and Dead.. hmm..
The third state may be when the organism\living thing is just about to die, but still alive, though not really. What is "alive"? Aaah, memories..
Is the following a definition of "alive" ?
M (ovement)
R (respiration)
S (ensitivity)
G (rowth)
R (espiration)
E (excretion)
N (utrition)
?
If so, then time will make a huge difference to this scenario, since I haven't seen a living thing yet that does all of the mentioned simultaneously (except maybe ali, but that's an exception).
The "Dead" state would be invoked when none of the seven are active, right ?
