Schrödinger’s Cat and His Timeless (t = 0) Quantum World
Francis T. S. Yu
The most famous cat in modern physics must be the Schrödinger’s Cat, in which he hypothesized that his cat cannot be determined alive or death until we look into his box. By which the paradox of his half-live cat had been puzzling the quantum physicists over three-quarters of a century since Schrödinger disclosed it in a Copenhagen forum in 1935. Since the disclosure, the paradox has been debating by Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger himself, and many other renowned physicists, until now. We have found the cause of the paradox and we will show in this chapter of which the hypothesis of Schrödinger’s Cat is not a paradox after all. It was the timeless radioactive particle he introduced into the box, since timeless and temporal spaces are mutually exclusive. We will show that the whole Schrödinger’ quantum world is timeless (i.e., t = 0) and his fundamental principle of superposition is timeless, since his quantum mechanics was built within an empty subspace. We will also stress that Schrödinger equation is mathematics and it is primarily designed to calculate particle’s quantum dynamics using particle-wave duality. Similar to the set of Maxwell equations, the solution has to satisfy the boundary condition of our universe: dimensionality, temporal, and causality (i.e., t > 0) condition.
