I was just reading up on Schrodinger's Cat on Wikipedia. Since when it comes to quantum physics, or even physics, I am basically an idiot, this is a challenging discussion for me to follow. The one thing I'm really certain of is that you wouldn't want to be Schrondinger's Cat. I mean why a cat? Wouldn't the idea have worked just as well with a guppy or a light bulb...the light is either on or off or "smeared out in equal parts"...I love a physicist using words like "smeared", but it's a translation.

The thing that fascinates me about quantum physics is the idea that the system becomes one thing (or another) when an observation takes place. The act of observation changes the actions of the particles. (right?, maybe, I'm learning) This is so very much like creating and showing art. Each piece is based on the artist's concepts, ideas, history and emotions. An observer brings to that art a different set of ideas, emotions and history, changing that artwork, sometimes subtly, sometimes drastically. Although this can be frustrating, I find it very alluring...that art is not a one way lecture. It is, in effect, a three way conversation between you, the canvas and the viewer.
