Schrodinger's Cat

Schrodinger's equation http://www.branded3.com/blogs/quantum-physics-pagerank-the-schrodinger-equation/

Consequences of Schrodinger's Cat What/Who/Do we need an ultimate observer to collapse the wavefunction of the entire universe Copenhagen interpretation: the wave function collapses when observation occurs Many Worlds interpretation: on the collapsing of wavefunctions, a new world is created

Other interpretations Ensemble interpretation: The 'as if' argument, that math only describes the phenomena Objective collapse theory: The cat is always either dead or alive, because it can observe itself Relational interpretation: It depends on who is considered the observer when considering the wave function
