Shrodinger, I recognized the name right away, being a mathematician myself. You certainly don't let being a cat box you in. I love how you play fetch with your daddy. You sure won his heart with your winning ways.

Congrats on being our Cat of the Day!

Schrody you made me smile the second I saw that inquisitive little look on your cute as a button face.:) You stole my :love: It is quite appropriate that your human Daddy is a scientist. Together you can ponder the wonders of the universe and the mysteries of cats playing fetch.:D: Have an extra special COTD Mr. Schrodinger.:love::cool:

Oh my, that little face is too adorable! And you have a baby picture too....:love:

I actually just learned of Schrodinger a couple days ago on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon was using his cat in the box theory on Leonard. So I knew exactly what the name meant as soon as I saw it. :)

Congrats on being Cat of the Day Schrody!! :D :D

Shrodinger is very impressive alright. I love the photos. Hard to believe he was so little when ya see his baby picture. Fabulous COTD. I had a cat named Mozart who trained me to play fetch with him once and I was a little suprised as well. Guess some guys need a hobby eh? Beautiful. Peace and love :D:D:D:D:D

Schrodinger what a heart stealer you are!!! :love:

There is just something special about orangie cats.
Having a cat, Chester, who loves playing fetch too, I know how wonderful that is. I hope you have a rousing game of fetch with your daddy today.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our very special Cat of the Day!!! :D:love:

What a treat!

First thing after my first coffee of the day, I have a look at Cat Of The Day. The moment Cat Schrödinger's image came up on the screen, I was chirrupping enthusiastically. What a cat!

Schrödinger's Cat is sometimes called Schrödinger's Paradox. It is necessary to have a good understanding of quantum mechanics and its various interpretations to really understand this elegant thought experiment proposed by Schrödinger and which he discussed at length with Albert Einstein. Suffice to say here that, due to the superposition of various quantum states, it is proposed that the cat in this experiment is simultaneously alive and dead. A great deal of discussion and argumentation entails just when the cat is either alive or dead. Quantum mechanics is a statistical probability approach to the way the world functions. Hithertofore, as with Newtonian physics, the model entailed that there was one definite account of such things. No longer. The eminent physicist, great educator (I had the great boon of studying with him), Richard Feynman invented diagrams, Feynman Diagrams, tracing all the possible trajectories taken by a sub-atomic particle. Some had an extremely low probability, others a very high probabilty, and the frequency distributiion was normal. The logical outcome entails that ALL of these trajectories were indeed possible, but some much more probable than others. This led to other seeming paradoxes, such as an hypothesis that there are simultaneously many worlds, and that each of these many proposed trajectories are realised in one of them. There are any number of proposed resolutions to the apparent paradoxical implications of quantum mechanics. This is extremely important to physical science, not merely an amusement.

How can it be that the cat exists simultaneously alive and dead? This is the crux. It is a very elegant thought experiment with very profound implications for physics.

But your Cat Schrödinger is no paradox at all: he is so winning and beautiful that it really made my day just to see him. I know that his lovely visage will long linger in my mind and heart. What a cat!

Thank you for your explanation of the paradox of Schrödinger's Cat. I'd heard about it before but didn't remember any of it. I'm very impressed that you have studied with Richard Feynman.

Today's Cat Schrodinger is no paradox; he's totally adorable and delightful! No questions or confusion there.

Hi Schrödinger! Happy Cat of the Day to!:) What an adorable orange man you are! You have THE sweetest face and expression, and personality enough to impress your dad Briggs, winning him over to the "cat side!":love: And I too "recognized" your name! I'm no math or physics whiz, but have a fascination for quantum mechanics; "Universe" series obsessed!:D Thanks to Sashymo for putting a fine point on Schrödinger's Paradox...and for saying what I was thinking after reading your bio; that there is no paradox to be found in your beauty, your intelligence, your "winningness!" What a beautiful feline you are, Schrödinger, and so very worthy of our "top cat" honors!:cool:
Much love to you beautiful boy! Wishing for you and your dear mom and dad, a very happy Cat of the Day, and many, many more wonderful years of shared love and companionship!:love::love::love:
