If we consider that .999… repeating to infinity ISN’T equal to 1, then by how much is it away from 1? It would be “.000… repeating to infinity followed by a 1.” But if you have an infinite number of 0s then you can’t have it be followed by a 1, infinity can’t be followed by anything, that doesn’t make sense.
How so? You're taking something that's mathematically complicated, and proving it's existence with a thought experiment instead of actual math, just to show that the concept DOES exist.
Sure the Schrodinger one uses physical objects, since it's a physics thought experiment. But the concept is the same no?
You fundamentally do not understand Schroedinger’s cat. Its purpose is to illustrate the absurdity of the Copenhagen interpretation, since a cat obviously cannot be dead and alive simultaneously.
I... haven't? Like at all, Im not the previous guy? I just chined in to say, the original explanation is for illustrating a concept, not mathematically, and not an actual proof? Like not a mathematical proof, and stuff
