Did Schrodinger really keep his cat in a box until it died?

The experiment was only a thought experiment, however, if it were to be enacted, whilst inside the box the cat is dualistically suspended between the states of life and death, it is not until opening the box that it reverts to one state or the other. So if you were to open the box and find it dead it would be your fault for killing it, not Schrodinger's.

Well, the cat was hypothetical, a construct to demonstrate how observation interacted with the observed, and how observation can affect the interaction of particles.

So in writing computer programs to monitor the behavior of other programs, particularly databases, we have to be careful about the resources our monitors use and design them for minimal interaction, reconstructing behavior from a few snapshot points. This will become more important when we finally hit the wall, and the chips cannot be made any smaller or faster and we have to look at quantum computing (right now, the technique is being used in medicine to detect brain waves).

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, often described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday objects. The thought experiment presents a cat that might be alive or dead, depending on an earlier random event. In the course of developing this experiment, he coined the term Verschränkung — literally translated, entanglement.

the point of the belief test is to attraction to close the belief of a superposition of states. earlier a length is taken, the cat is the two alive and ineffective concurrently (in accordance to the translation of the belief test. No area of the "experimental setup" *motives* the cat to die if the field is opened. commencing the field and taking a length of the difficulty of the cat "collapses the prospect wave functionality" forcing between the flair effects. it is the same thought to how a small particle could be in 2 places concurrently until you stress it to be in one place or the different via taking a length. i these days examine that debris as great as a C-60 "buckyball" molecule (60 atoms of carbon) may additionally exist in a superposition of places. i want to propose taking a seem at DeBroglie wavelengths besides.

It was a thought experiment, and the cat was imaginary. So no real cats were harmed in the making of this experiment ;-)

It was only an assumption to exhibit the uncertain position of any given entity.

No brother...He was not insane...:-)

As others are saying, it was a thought experiment.

No, it was just a mental exercise.
