Life is Like a Box of... Schröedinger's Cat?

My friends and I just had this television series marathon at my place. We were watching The Big Bang Theory season one. The best part of series or any kind of movie marathon is having good food to accompany us while we’re watching and pizza always comes up in mind at the first place. We opted for Domino’s Pizza and picked their Delicious Pepper Beef and Cheese Mania. We also had their famous Apple Struddle, which is my personal favorite. Beside Apple Strudle, what I love most about Domino’s Pizza is their interesting side dishes. If you’re a cheese devotee, you should try their Cheesy Bread and Bread Sticks cos it’s soo damn good! 

Anyway, are you familiar with Schröedinger's cat? At first, I’m not. I’ve never heard this term before until I watched one of this Big Bang Theory episode that night. 

In 1935, an Austrian physicist named Erwin Schröedinger, proposed some deep thought experiment regarding some theory. His theory (which in science words, known as superposition) tells about a paradox in quantum mechanics.  He illustrated that if you put a cat and a vial of poison inside a box then sealed it, then you wouldn’t know if the cat is dead or alive. This means until you opened that box and see for yourself whether the cat is dead or alive, they are still in the state of superposition. Superposition means the cat is both alive and dead at the same time, because of us not able to prove it yet. 

We have no way of telling whether the cat is alive or not, therefor it exists in two different possible outcomes. Aside to the psychic explanation, there are many things  we can relate to this Schrödinger's cat. In common  term we can translate this theory as : matter exists in various states untill you measure it. Still confused? Lets pick random circumstance :

You just broke up with your partner, you’re sad and downhearted. Eventually, you realize you need to pick yourself back up and move on but you’re not sure if he/she is the one.

Those kind of fear and uncertainty could be great examples of how we, as a human, tend to analyze something and made  decisions only based on one outcome.  According to the theory, the idea of the situation is not that you don’t know about the cat but the cat is literally BOTH dead and alive until you open the box. 

When something hasn't happened yet, uncertainty occurs and sometime it holding us from doing things. Hence it could mean we need to see something with our own eyes to know it to be true. Who knows if you would find someone better than your previous partner if you’re not trying? Only by facing and disrupting that circumstance we would know what the outcome is. In the end, life doesn’t wait for us. Instead of building a wall upon you, why not build a bridge?
