macroscopic state?
possibilities transform itself to the blurred picture we have of a definite macroscopic state. That is the measurement problem and Schrodinger’s cat is a simple and elegant explanations of that problem. References: [1] E.

The Copenhagen interpretation Paul Budnik paul@mtnmath.com This is the oldest of the interpretations. It is based on Bohr’s notion of `complementarity’. Bohr felt that the classical and quantum mechanical models were two complementary ways of dealing with physics both of which were necessary. Bohr felt that an experimental observation collapsed or ruptured (his term) the wave function to make its future evolution consistent with what we observe experimentally. Bohr und
