Schrodinger’s Cat is a thought experiment where you place a cat and a veil of poison inside a closed box. There are two probabilities that can happen, the cat will either die by consuming the poison or it may not consume it and still be alive. The truth can only be known when we open up the box and see for our own eyes what happened, till then it is unknown. The same can be applied to everything that exists in the three-dimensional world. Everything that we perceive with our human eyes is materials which will have a fixed number of outcomes.

Let the probability of cat living be 1 and that it dies to be 0. With different combinations of 0s and 1s, we can define the probability of everything that may happen in our world. We can define a probability of dice throwing 6 on the upper side, we can define a probability of an asteroid, lightyears away, colliding with planet earth based on the data collected, and at some point in time, we may even be able to predict future! But I believe that quantum physics says otherwise.

Quantum physics rewrites our basic knowledge of the fundamental laws of physics. Instead of looking at objects as materials, consider them as a collection of electrons, energy, which is vibrating at a particular frequency so that it can exist in the form that we perceive it. What if the cat inside the box was not a material being, rather an energy being? There may be an infinite number of probabilities! The cat may be an interdimensional being, and it may have crossed dimensions during the time it was closed inside the box. When we opened it, it may have come back and we thought it didn’t consume the poison.

Our eyes can perceive the length, breadth, and height of any object. What we cannot perceive, and what that object truly is, is energy! Even our eyes can see only a small spectrum of light in an infinite spectrum. If our capabilities are limited, is it wrong to say that our understanding of the universe is also limited? We are taught to think that for every incident, there are a fixed number of outcomes, true since our knowledge is fixed, the number of outcomes is also fixed. We have also been taught to think outside the box, so are you ready to think outside Schrodinger’s box?
