@Rangue:
Daily reminder, Schrodinger cat was an example Schrodinger used for how stupid the idea of the copenhagen interpretation was. It was meant to be a idiotic parallel, which common sense would tell you is not true, and the cat is alive or dead independent of being observed. I blame the big bang theory television show for people throwing the idea around like it is actual science.
I'm sorry but I have to jump in here.
The Schrödinger cat is a great metaphor of what really happens in quantum systems. There are a lot of systems when the two possible states superpose and you cannot tell which one is the real one until you measure it. As an example, molecules of ammonia are oscillating into two possible states, right or left-handed. You cannot tell which one, one particular molecule is until you measure (and hence destroy) the output. Until that moment, the system is oscillating and in the two states "at the same time", with some probability each, but you need both to describe the system. Mathematically, of course.
So yeah, first, TBBT did not make up anything :)
and second, until Oda collapses the result in two weeks, our system can be described mathematically as:
Ψ(Law) = A · |alive> + B · |dead> than can be read as Law is at the same time alive are dead (since we need both states to describe the system)
Statistically, by previous results/arcs, we could assign some probabilities to our unknown constants, e.g., A=99.999999999999….% , B= ε
But there is always a small probability to go through the wall… I mean, that Law can be dead :)
