I'm going to cop to admitting that I still don't truly understand what's going on with Shrodinger's cat.

That's one of the selling points of the Many Worlds Interpretation: you don't have to believe that the cat is simultaneously both dead and alive in the same universe like you do with the Copenhagen interpretation :D
- Victor Ganata
Wait. There's a version where we have to believe if Copenhagen is dead or alive at the same time?

LOL, that just gave me an idea for a show: it would be like "Under The Dome" except that the dome is opaque and the trapped city would be attached to radionuclide trigger that sets off a self-destruct sequence. So if a beta particle decays, the entire city is dead but if not then the entire city survives, and no one outside the city has anyway of knowing what's happening.
