Schrödinger’s Cat

from the ABC set Steve-R Poems

For those unfamiliar with Quantum theory
Some of the concepts can be quite eerie
I should like you to consider, this supposition
The double slit explanation, of superposition
A quantum indeterminate
Means something unobserved, exists in every state
Schrödinger proposed a box and a cat
However, I can go one better than that
She said, she does not love me
But if I put it in a box, where no one can see
Then the state must exist, where she loves me as well
And if no one looks, then who can tell
If Schrödinger’s Cat can be both alive and dead
There is a chance she was wrong, in what she said

Thankyou for reading and commenting Tina, glad it had you in a whirl, I do like to put some spin on my particles ;-)

I like quantum poetry too Nick, see what happens when you try and write something quirky and it turns out quarky :-)

Thanks Julie.
Tis just normal poetry on a strange subject, I like trying to do scientific poetry as you get to use lots of big words ;-) Good job I have a spell checker huh.

Best use of a collapsing wave function I've ever seen. A Nobel prize coming your way, you mark my words. :)

Cheers FTSE,
Ah if only prizes were so easy, I opened the box, and the blinking cat was dead ;-)
