k Schrodingers Cat. Computer artwork depicting the famous Schrodingers Cat thought experiment. The image shows a cat both dead grey and alive ginger inside a box on a starfield background. The orbitals of a radioactive isotope are superimposed over the cat. In this hypothetical situation, the cat is thought to be both alive and dead until observed. This is because a quantum event the decay of a radioac tive particle is set up to trigger the release of a lethal poison from a vial not seen here that kills the cat. According to quantum physics, the unstable particle exists in an intermediate probabilistic state until it is observed. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
