" I must admit that there is a sudden improvement in news maker status of cats. Surprisingly a single cat is behind the entire change. No one knows his name. known only as Schrodinger's cat, he has made his mark in every scientist's mind, be an astrophysicist or a microbiologist.
'From philosopher to pupil, from priest to policeman, every one is really perplexed at the cat who is alive and dead at the same time. No one has ever seen him. If any one tries to see him the cat at once becomes dead. Otherwise it continues to live for ever".
Very complicated?"
It was a early morning in December, but it was not at all chilling as it aught to be in normal case. I was at Husky's door to open and let him out to his morning freedom.
"Why don't you open it yourself ?". I teased him as usual.
He did not bother to answer me or run out to look up the places where the cats hide.
"Why are you not looking for the cats, are you not well?". My little dog has no grudge against cats as long as they don't violate the rules but likes to see them run away acknowledging his supremacy.
'The Schrodinger's cat' he replied.
His words and body signs were enough to explain what he had in his mind. I was surprised, though I am well aware of his language skills and general knowledge I never expected him to know about Schrodinger's cat.
"When ever your smartphone reads out from net about the cat, I listen". He explained.
It was true, for quite some time I was following the developments in quantum Mechanics. I know he can overhear it from any distance. But to what extent he can understand the principles which even very brilliant scientists are unable to decipher in full?.
"You see it is very high level physics. I am yet to understand it". I wanted to escape from his questions.
He was not ready to leave me that easily
"I am not asking you about principles of physics. But you see what I do also can be interpreted using quantum theory". He said. Forcing me to look back to see.
The number of chicken pieces he got yesterday and the day before were the same but sizes differed. (we always give him five pieces of chicken) . But he says he gets more from me than from Alice, the maid.
Number by itself is not sufficient to give the idea of quantity involved. Now I got an idea why he said it has something to do with quantum mechanics.
Yes the numbers by itself have no meaning unless all the counted have of the same attributes. But how to get such a homogenous group?
"If you have a large quantity of food first divide it based on size of pieces. Then into groups of equal size depending the number of days it is to last.Ta. So that every day equal quantity is available" Said Husky
But quantum mechanics?. I silently left, thinking about it. He did not bother to burden me further.
To me our number system always appeared with out head and/ or even tail. And in the case of negative numbers they do not have any sense in most cases, like age or volume. But numbers are meant for giving a measure.
So it was Husky's argument that one must have a count of total quantity available. Before numbering. If not possible due to differences, regroup the entire quantity taking equal ones.
Negative numbers and infinity actually limit the Genuineness of the present number system. If more the accuracy in equality is required more the numbers can be created. But we have to limit all the numbers between 0 and 1. The total quantity available being 1. Say. 01, . 02, . 03.......if you divide the total quantity into 100.The equality depends only on the accuracy you want in Measuring. Or in other words as far as we are concerned all the pieces will have same size.
I think the disagreement between general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics can be due to this. And they may become more....Of course my dog and I, we both do not have any knowledge of the high level mathematical tools they use now a days to study it.
I told husky the position we are in. He is very much aware of it. He is still hopeful of getting some recognition for the merit of his theory.
He said in case someone offers us any prize we have to ask them to send it in two equal haves. If it is big we would like the prize to be send to the people of Ukraine.
I told him dogs are not usually eligible for such prizes
Husky said he has no objections he just wants to ascertain the supremacy of dogs over cats.
