Schrodinger's Cat?

Wiki 'Hugh Everett'- who gets around the paradox of that and the 'measurement problem' of atoms and particles/waves perfectly. Although in the most frightening way possible.

Anyone watch about the three programmes about the Atom on BBC Four this week gone?

No, my Aunt called me up before xmas and told me about the programmes but I missed them. What was the name of the programmes? I might see if they're on iPlayer.

Thank you, although it looks like iPlayer isn't showing it.

I've read a little on the 'many worlds' theory and while it may work mathematically, I'm not sure how it may benefit our own universe!

Maybe youtube has 'atom'; I'll take a peep.

iPlayer sometimes won't show programmes to me either!

Many Worlds Interpretation makes no difference to the universe that we live in- other than to make a startling argument for the universe that we live in! It also resolves the paradox of Schroedinger's Cat once and for all.

I hope you're happy, Hexy. Thought I'd seen the last of this battle of the new semantics last summer.

Don't mention the bananas, Buttsie, or it'll be no home-cooked goodies for us come HH's birthday.
