The automotive warranty extension thing is a huge scam. Investigators have been following leads, but as quickly as they prove one is fraudulent and shut them down, two more pop up. It has been on the news.
Ever heard of "If a tree falls in the forest and noone is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" Same thing, except more sarcastic.
Oh. I see. Then no. Cause if you leave the sandwich alone and come back down it's most likely someone ate it.
If you leave it out...before too long molds, fungus, insects...will eat it. It is never free of the icky stuff. That is why we have an immune system...but there is always going to be something...unless you leave it in a vacuum or something...wonder if that would work.
That is a quantum physics riddle not a sammich riddle. It was a thought experiment by a dude named Schroedinger. A cat is placed in a box, together with a radioactive atom. If the atom decays, and the geiger-counter detects an alpha particle, the hammer hits a flask of prussic acid (HCN), killing the cat. The paradox lies in the clever coupling of quantum and classical domains. Before the observer opens the box, the cat's fate is tied to the wave function of the atom, which is itself in a superposition of decayed and undecayed states. Thus, said Schroedinger, the cat must itself be in a superposition of dead and alive states before the observer opens the box, ``observes'' the cat, and ``collapses'' it's wave function.
Coming to a bookseller near you…. The Sammich Chronicles Protags are: Bologna Granger: Sharp-tongued, if somewhat lacking in acting skills. Harry Pottedmeatproduct: A bit cloying with an unusual smile. Ron Weasloaf: Strange color, not very appealing.
... What? This is probably why I didnt take physics; it just goes totally over my head. Can you explain that in little-kid terms, so maybe I can understand it? I really am interested to learn, to know the answer...
Basically it says that you put a cat in a box with radioactive stuff...that the cat can be both alive and dead at the same time.
