ok for everyone out there...
if curiosity killed the cat, what was the cat so curious about?
was the cat so curious that it starved to death or died of dehydration?
how can curiosity kill the cat anyways?
or is curiosity taking the wrap for something else?
if it wasn't curiosity, was it the conspiracy to kill the cat covered up by the owner to blame curiosity or did the owner hate the cat?
was the SPCA investigating the murder of cat?
so in the end if curiosity killed the cat should i be so curious about curiosity?

Here's an answer for the cat question. If the cat was Schrodinger's Cat, then it was not the cat's curiosity but someone else.

Schrodinger's Cat is a thought expertiment designed to let non-scientists see the weirdness of quantum mechanics. It consists of a box with a cat, poison, detector, and trigger device inside. If the box is closed, the poison is triggered and something happens. Normally, logic dictates the cat would die, but in the quantum world nothing happens until an observation is made. So if the cat is a quantum object then it is neither alive nor dead until an observation is made.

Clearly, the thought experiment is illogical, which is the whole point.

So who do u get ur weed/crack from. LOL
Silver
so the tree falls nor stands and makes noise or is silent till its witnessed?
intresting...

That is essentially correct, but remember the thought experiment is designed to never be carried out because it is simply to make a point.

Basically it comes down to the fact that in trying to observe a certain property, you influence the outcome. You will always find what you set out to find. There is a humorous story about a famous physicist named J J Thompson who "proved" that an electron is a particle. Later his son "proved" that is a wave. They were each looking for a certain property and each found that property.

It is important to remember that quantum mechanics only works for objects and energies on the quantum scale. The calculations and theories are not designed for macroscopic objects. Hence, the cat thought experiment is, of course, an absurdity.
Silver
so its just a hypothetical hypothesis with no outcome
*edit* im drunk so hope it comes out right.... so its like saying that since light can produce pressure (force) it must contain weight, and seeing that, it could be caputred. but going after a experiment would give a pre-determined result because that is what the person would be looking for and would find it... Hope it makes since... does to me but i might understand flipper right now too so whatever....
