So, what that means is...
You know, the box split according to the Schrodinger equation.
And then when you open the box to look, you split into two copies.
And the reason that you don't see both a living and a dead cat is because you split.
And so each copy of you only sees one cat.
One of you sees a living cat.
Thank God.
And one of you sees a dead cat.
But both copies only see one cat.
Yeah.
It's this entanglement sort of contagious and ends up going through the whole world.
And so the whole world eventually splits into the dead cat and the living cat branches.
And this happens over and over again all the time.
And so you end up with this massive collection of universes, a multiverse.
That's right.
Yeah.
So then you get three copies.
Or what if you left the cat in there for 15 minutes, right?
So instead of leaving it in there long enough that you had a 50-50 shot of finding a dead cat, you've probably got a living cat.
Right?
