Life as a Schrödinger's cat experiment

Schrödinger's Cat experiment is a thought experiment that illustrates the problem in Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum physics as seen by certain scientists.

The Einstein version includes a cat penned up in a steel chamber with a keg of gun powder (Take a chill pill PETA, it's just a thought experiment). For the observer, from outside, the cat may be both dead and alive. It is not until the box is actually opened does the fate of the cat come to light. Just like that, every aspect of our lives is a passing blur. Until the condition in question interacts with the observer, there is no telling what turn life may take. You may be both passing and failing in an examination, succeeding or foundering in a business venture, blessed and cursed in a venture of the heart, your toothpaste may be both exhausted and available, your possessions both with you and lost. The result depends on the moment when the observer reacts with the condition.

People say that sometimes, in certain cases, it's better to leave the mind in doubt so that you won't have to suffer trauma, but I have come to realise that this is never really an option. When you interact with the condition, you get closure. Yes you may experience agony for hours, days, months, even years, but at the end of it , you will actually find the holy grail of tranquility and contentment, which will be much much more worth it than the regret that will burn and combust your insides forever, as they haunt your day and night, in case you don't take that chance and confront your fears . Trepidation will only grow when you hide from it.

Curiosity may have killed the cat on certain accounts, but on the rest, it made the cat live too. For after all, Life is but a large universal scale Schrödinger's Cat experiment.

Dedicated to Stephen Hawking. RIP. You will be missed. You have not only shown us and explained to us numerous cosmic miracles, you were one too.
