If You See Schrödinger’s Cat, I Want It… Dead or Alive!
My passion has always been taking complex concepts (ones that have been written with lots of technical jargon), and sitting for hours with a “physics, to common English”, dictionary while explaining it all to myself so a 9th grader might understand it.
I want it so basic that it is dumber than one of those Dummy books.
I first started this exercise of simplifying complex ideas with the 370 pages of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and never looked back. I have been doing this with Game Theory for a decade, and I often publish that work on Medium.com.
My most recent attempt at this has been to simplify the theory of Schrödinger’s Cat. I’ll get to who Schrödinger’s is (or was) and why we need care about his cat in just a minute or so (I only have 7 1/2 minutes left to explain the whole thing anyway).
This Schrödinger’s Cat story had so many layers to it that it kept my brain at high speed, my mind in delight, and the pages of my dictionary frayed! Keep in mind I only have about 7 minutes to explain the whole thing.
