Playing the lotery is a good analogy to the Schroedinger cat experiment. That is, as long as you don't check the numbers
You're viewing a single thread.
This is a gross misinterpretation of the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment and how the lottery actually works. That said, this is genuinely a shower thought because it's logic evaporates as quickly as you dry off and put your thinking pants on.
I suffered from the wrong interpretation myself for a long time, and I think it's worth a brief explanation as to why it is wrong. It's clear why so many people misunderstand it, and I'm incapable of providing a concise, correct explanation to other people myself. But I like to see other people try, and hope one day to come across an elegant explanation that I can plagiarize.
Well pardon me sir, my scientific background is entirely made of yt science videos for middle-schoolers!
