Having a seven year old I doubt very much if they were really 7. They don't join forums, they're just learning to construct a sentence, sight read and computer time is for playing games!!!! Though some of the sentence construction and obvious reading skills are dubious on these forums sometimes LOL. I could read the newspaper, front to back, when I was three.

Why have my last three posts for the survivor thread been referred to a "page not available thingy???" I wasn' being horrible I was being insightful and stuff. Sometimes it does that if the server is overloaded. Nothing has been deleted. Really you were insightful?

Yes, I was quite the child genius.
Something happened when I hit puberty.
Obviously.

Yes, I was quite the child genius. Something happened when I hit puberty. Obviously. You are hilarious! Although I hope you are not quite so self-deprecating irl. Plus IQ is a stable attribute so you should be as intelligent now as you were then in respect to your age group. Sometimes there is a difference bw intelligence and school achievement though.

Oh no, I was just being humble.
I still am a genius.

Oh no, I was just being humble. I still am a genius. Certainly a comedic one!

Oh no, I was just being humble. I still am a genius. A self proclaimed Young Einstein. Let's discuss Schroedinger's "cat theory" from the Copenhagen school of Quantum mechanics . Why was the cat put in the box for starters and what was it's eventual fate?

Personally I think that theory is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Oh I never could understand it - even though my father-in-law has painstakingly tried to explain it once.

It's stupid. Perhaps with an inanimate object, then yes you could say the theory has some basis (though again, I would doubt it).
However, to use a cat which does in fact possess a brain and is thus living, the theory is, as far as I am concerned, plain wrong.

As I understand it, you put a cat in a box with a radioactive source that decays or with equal probability doesn't. and a Geiger counter and a container of hydrochloric acid. If you leave it for an hour, the cat might still be alive or it might not - I've forgotten what the Geiger counter and the acid is for - confused anyone? I am!

As the odds are contrived to be 50/50 you have to open the box to observe a if the cat is alive b dead.
It is what in quantum physics a thought experiment and proves nothing happens unless it is observed.
superficially obvious but actually very deep theory.
Like in Phillip. k. Dicks movie
Totall Recall.

Babs the whole idea is to have a live object,
Perhaps you are thinking of some other "thought experiment"
Fyrnn knew more about it than you.
