In theory, isn't that impossible, because you're still observing, even if it is on the quantum level.

But I may be wrong, I'm stuck in a holographic universe.
I may be mistaken, but I think it's possible. The basic idea of a quantum computer is that instead of having a mere 0 or 1 result you can in fact have both simultaneously, hence their application in (de)cryptography as they can work out the prime factors of huge numbers in a fraction of the time a standard computer can (or something :)). I'm not involved in the field, so I don't remember the proof, but I seem to remember understanding it at the time of reading.

Code: Select all

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
define('BUG', 'Not found');

if (BUG = 'found')
{
    echo $bug;
}
else
{
    echo $bug;
}
?>
and in so doing find that the cat is neither alive nor dead, but that it is in fact a "Parse error: parse error in /home/klors/www/schroedinger.php on line 5".

So I would then presume that you are hinting to us that it is in fact the universe that is mutable and not the cat. That the cat is a constant and we should redefine our view of the universe to include the cat in its non-variable form of mere existance rather than viewing it as an alive/dead variable.

Very interesting.
I blame it all on the implicate. I don't know anything though.

Of course, that's exactly what I meant... 8)
