Everyone Gets Schrödinger's Cat Wrong—It's A Critique, Not A Confirmation | Roger Penrose Explains

Описание: Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose reveals the shocking truth: Schrödinger's cat was NOT designed to prove superposition is real—it was designed to mock the Copenhagen interpretation. In 1935, Schrödinger supported Einstein's critique of quantum mechanics. The cat thought experiment was a reductio ad absurdum: "If Copenhagen is right, cats can be alive AND dead—which is absurd—therefore Copenhagen is wrong." But we misunderstood it for 90 years, turning his mockery into our most famous metaphor. Discover why the measurement problem is real, why observer-dependent collapse is incoherent, how Penrose's Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) solves it through gravitational self-energy, why macroscopic superpositions collapse instantly, and why the cat is never in superposition—not because we observe it, but because gravity forces objective collapse. Schrödinger was right. We just forgot to listen.
