Grammar
With reference to eachother?
Hi! everyone.
Can you please tell me how we can describe two things with reference to eachother specifically (the coloured sentence) in the experiment below?
Schodingers Cat-:
a cat imagined as being enclosed in a box with a radioactive source and a poison that will be released when the source (unpredictably) emits radiation, the cat being considered (according to quantum mechanics) to be simultaneously both dead and alive until the box is opened and the cat observed.
The question now is: at the end of the hour, is the cat alive or dead?
Schrödinger's interpretation is that as long as the door is closed, the cat is both dead and alive in dual superposed quantum states. When the door is opened, the quantum states are made known and the cat is observed to be either alive or dead.
The problem exists in that by opening the room, the person is interfering with the experiment. The person and the experiment have to be described with reference to each other. By merely looking at the experiment the person has influenced the experiment.
I would be much obliged if someone replies to this.
Thanks!

- That sounds OK to me; whether it matches the rigid logic of Schrödinger's cat I do not know.
- The word he used was 'entanglement'.
