       I'm Easily Amused

       I revisited Schrodinger's Cat today.  Austrian physicist Erwin
       Schrödinger in 1935 devised this thought experiment in response
       to what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation
       of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects  Schrodinger's
       Cat is known as a paradox. The scenario presents a cat that
       might be alive or dead, depending on an earlier random event.
       The experiment can be thought to mean that while the box is
       closed, the system simultaneously exists in a superposition of
       the states "decayed nucleus/dead cat" and "undecayed
       nucleus/living cat.  only when the box is opened and an
       observation performed does the superposition collapse into one
       of the two states.
       ;D WTF, you are probably saying to yourself.  Well, I had an
       idea that if no one saw me this morning, I could be in the
       superposition of being at work AND being home asleep.  Now, this
       I thought was pretty cool.  If and when I was observed would
       then determine where or what state I am at.  Anyways, Mondays
       can be kinda boring so I amuse myself.  How's your Monday going?
