Schroedinger's cat

Using Schrödinger's cat reveals that things can be in 2 states at the same time (and I reckon are influenced by the observer if the box is opened.) I understand how this illustrates how particles can exist in two states. But I'm not sure I understand the PRACTICAL implications of the experiment.

Is it kind of like x/∞, where any number divided by infinity is 0? In other words, does the cat example help theoretical physicists to help solve bigger problems, or is it an end in and of itself, to show that the particle can exists in two states? Like more of an illustration for people who don't understand quantum physics to understand it better?

Wow this is sure making my head spin, too much pussy science for one night!

Antonia's cat's name is See See.

Schrödinger's cat's name is Bill.

Actually dude that is Bill the Cat from Bloom County. I like this one better:

And you forgot the crazy Penguin too

I could never forget Opus! He just isn't a cat. This is a cat thread, so he is off topic.

Start a thread about penguins if you want to comment about Opus.

Maybe Schrodingers cat is making realtards rich like this:

Or making SD's cat is taking a dump on the taxpayers?

Steve Dallas is the realtard shown above and Bill (S's cat) is screwing the people with high RBA home prices!

@Patrick, spam link no longer shows. Threw some spam in ad hom.

Schroedinger actually said something like this in "Mind and Matter".
