Schrodinger's Cat T-Shirt
ruyi:
I knew about it and I've never taken physics in my life. Probably never will either at this rate.
celticgeek:
Schrodinger's cat is general, even common, knowledge, in some circles that I run in (several puns there, all intended). However, even in the computer geek circles, it does not seem to be well known. I even tried to make a joke using Schrodinger's cat when discussing the "bit bucket" and no one got it at all (and most did not get it even after I tried to explain it further).
So it seems to be less than general knowledge, at least less than I would have figured.
The experimental process is proceeding, however, and there are some interesting results:
Schrodinger's Entangled Cat
Blue Kitty:
I wish there was some sort of graphic on the shirt besides the lettering. Maybe a cat, or would that be too morbid?
Tom:
I've known since I was 9. By that age, I'd also heard of the third state.
Slick:
On Griffiths Quantum Physics book, the front cover has a live cat, while the back has a dead one. A fellow I met a few times was once wearing a t-shirt with that same cat graphic on the front and back, with |up> and |down> on the front and back, respectively (imagine up is an up arrow and down is a down arrow).
