We have been looking into the experiment called ‘Schrodinger’s Cat’ in which, Erwin Schrodinger argued that a cat was both alive and dead at the same time. Wogan says of the experiment,
“The famous paradox of Schrödinger’s cat starts from principles of quantum physics and ends with the bizarre conclusion that a cat can be simultaneously in two physical states – one in which the cat is alive and the other in which it is dead. In real life, however, large objects such as cats clearly don’t exist in a superposition of two or more states and this paradox is usually resolved in terms of quantum decoherence. But now physicists in Canada and Switzerland argue that even if decoherence could be prevented, the difficulty of making perfect measurements would stop us from confirming the cat’s superposition.”
We want to switch this idea round and instead of not being able to know what has happened in the box, have the audience member not know exactly what is happening outside of the box. We can tell the audience member that outside the box it is a jungle or a beach or a meadow etc, but without being outside the box they can never truely know themselves that it is not true. We want to explore the notion that deep down the audience will know they’re not in the jungle but until they are out of the box, they could be…
