Schroedinger's Cat
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Schrödinger's cat is a famous illustration of the principle in quantum theory of superposition, proposed by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. Schrödinger's cat serves to demonstrate the apparent conflict between what quantum theory tells us is true about the nature and behavior of matter on the microscopic level and what we observe to be true about the nature and behavior of matter on the macroscopic level.
The cat reinforces the layered way the Sopranos can be viewed, both at face value and as metaphor.
the measurement system (the observer) is entangled with the experiment.
These threads prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
the cat must itself be in a superposition of dead and alive states
I can't figure if this is a reference to Tony being alive, but spiritually dead, or if this has something to do with the fact that Tony sees himself sitting at the table in the restaurant. Help me out here!
