I have never understood the parable of Schroedinger's cat. I guess just a Newtonian girl at heart. Maybe that's why I prefer traditional music, too.

Wikipedia has this to say:

"He (Schroedinger) proposed a scenario with a cat in a sealed box, wherein the cat's life or death depended on the state of a subatomic particle... The thought experiment illustrates the counterintuitiveness of quantum mechanics..."

I must be real intuitive, because quantum mechanics makes no sense to me whatever.

Wikipedia also says:

"Einstein pointed out that the state of an unstable keg of gunpowder will, after a while, contain a superposition of both exploded and unexploded states."

All I've got to say is that here in Missouri, a powder keg is gonna either be exploded or not. Furthermore, I'm glad Einstein never had a job in public safety.
