Tommy xs Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 so is it you like having to sign in or being anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREIGE Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 No. I just make a point of signing out of Forums to show Im not available if anyone replies. Means they arent waiting for hours on a response. EG. You asked the question at 10:38pm last night. I am now replying at 06:45 the next morning.

Tommy xs Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think when you sign out, your out as it were, but when you click back to the site it auto signs you back in well I assume that's how it works it's bit like not knowing if the fridge light has gone out when you close the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREIGE Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 True. But its the only Forum that does it. And does the fridge light really go out ? ? ? ..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 True. But its the only Forum that does it. And does the fridge light really go out ? ? ? ..................... There are other forums?????? I've covered the fridge light query in depth somewhere on here, but I'm afraid I wasn't 100% sober and can't remember where!!

neversaydie Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Its that damned cat again Erwin Schrödinger, the Austrian quantum physicist, has been celebrated in a Google Doodle which depicts his most widely-known contribution to the field: the Schrödinger’s Cat mind experiment. In the hypothetical experiment, which the physicist devised in 1935, a cat is placed in a sealed box along with a radioactive sample, a Geiger counter and a bottle of poison. If the Geiger counter detects that the radioactive material has decayed, it will trigger the smashing of the bottle of poison and the cat will be killed. The experiment was designed to illustrate the flaws of the ‘Copenhagen interpretation’ of quantum mechanics, which states that a particle exists in all states at once until observed. If the Copenhagen interpretation suggests the radioactive material can have simultaneously decayed and not decayed in the sealed environment, then it follows the cat too is both alive and dead until the box is opened. Common sense tells us this is not the case, and Schrödinger used this to highlight the limits of the Copenhagen interpretation when applied to practical situations. The cat is actually either dead or alive, whether or not it has been observed. “[it] prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality,” Schrödinger wrote. “In itself, this would not embody anything unclear or contradictory.” Schrödinger’s Cat has been used to illustrate the differences between emerging theories in quantum mechanics, by testing how they would approach the experiment. For example, the ‘many worlds interpretation’, developed in the 1950s, would argue that when the box is opened, the observer and dead-and-alive cat split into two realities, in one of which the observer sees a dead cat and the other an alive one. The experiment has also been widely influential in popular culture, having been referenced in TV shows such as Futurama, Doctor Who and The Big Bang Theory as well as appearing in the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

jimmy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 So would this cat be a zombie, if it is neither dead or alive, or indeed BOTH dead and alive at the same time Whenever I have discussed this cat I always ask the same question and no-one has answered it with conviction What was the cats name?
