This website provides a description of the thought experiment, Schroedinger's cat. The first sections briefly explain some basics of Quantum Physics and one of its branches, the Copenhagen Interpretation. The following section provides background information for the thought experiment and for its creator, Austrian Physicist Erwin Schroedinger. The thought experiment is then described followed by my concluding views. Interactive games provide the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. The final matter is a reference section including the references, image credits, and related links. Information about my project can be found on the project information page (Click here for the project information page).

How can a cat be alive and dead at the same time? The thought experiment, Schroedinger's Cat, is well known in popular culture. It has been featured in songs, video games, movies, books TV shows and more [13]. It is included in video games such as NetHack, Rockband, Half Life 2, & DragonFable, music including Reading Day Opportunities, Eyedea, & Tears for Fears, books (Schroedinger’s Cat Trilogy) and comic books such as The Order of the Stick and Questionable Content. Most people have heard of it at some time during their life; however, the popular image of this thought experiment is just scratching the surface. The thought experiment is based on Quantum Mechanics, the theory which describes the microscopic world at the level of particles and waves. The thought experiment was created by the physicist Erwin Schroedinger to show the improbability of the Copenhagen Interpretation which states that microscopic particles behave the same as macroscopic objects like you and me and... the cat [6] [15].
