The Really Easy Picture Quiz..

Sorry For the Late response..But the wait is worth it!!

Its a lot easier Quiz..Your first guesses would mostly be correct..So Dont hesitate...Start Answering..

Lets Begin....[A hint---Dont go by the One-Liners..They are just a divertion!!]

1.Leonord and Shledon Cut it out!![Ofcourse referring to "The Big Bang Theory"]
What is shown in the Picture and what is it often described as?

A-Schrödinger's Cat: A cat, along with a flask containing a poison, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If a Geiger counter detects radiation then the flask is shattered, releasing the poison which kills the cat. Quantum mechanics suggests that after a while the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when we look in the box, we see the cat either alive or dead, not a mixture of alive and dead.Hence the term paradox.It illustrated what Schrodinger saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday objects.
