schrödinger's cat

The whole point of Schrödinger's cat is that according to quantum mechanics the radioactive atom is literally in two states at once: decayed and not decayed. It will one switch to one of those to states when observed, otherwise it is in both states at the same time. I know this is counterintuitive, that's the whole point of the thought experiment.

What Schrödinger asked is: what is this observation? If I have measurement device that measures the state of the atom is it in two states as well? And if that measurement device is in two states, is everything attached to it also in two states at once?

This is why Schrödinger came up with the cat. If we make a device that releases poison inside the box when the atom decays, and the device is in two states at once (released and not released), does that mean the cat is also at two states at once?

It sounds really absurd, but it asks the question: If the cat is not at two states at once, at what point did the system get "observed"? How large does the attached system have to be to count as an "observation"? These are real questions that are still being investigated.

Nowadays the biggest sinner is often the biggest believer of God too. They commit crimes in the name of god and then believe that they'll end up in hell which we all don't know is there or not but I'm saying it from the pov of theists.

If you're from India you've seen the so called babas committing crimes like r*pe, murder, financial fraud and the main point is that they're dividing people between caste and religion to believe the one who they truly are.

And the caste system too is the worse system yeah it helps us in the biological field but not in humanity.

Don't discriminate against people they're like you too.

Imagine a beautiful building.

As you walk through its doors you see a reception desk.

The receptionist is not there, but by the desk is a box of chocolate.

You look around, reach out and take one.

A person you hadn't noticed right behind you says "Wow! I've always wanted to try that chocolate! How is it?" and grabs one too.

Now you have an accomplice. You chat about how good the chocolate is.

Mmmm. What a good day this is turning out to be.

But, wait.

What if the person you hadn't noticed behind you instead says "How could you? How could you take something that doesn't belong to you? I can't believe you just grabbed that!"

Now you feel uncomfortable.

The receptionist returns to the desk. She glares at you. "That was not yours."

You stand there feeling awful.

When Sartre said "hell is other people he noted that we cannot really know ourselves without taking into consideration how we are regarded by others.

If we are judged by another, it becomes a part of our own opinion of ourselves.

Others are so important to us, we cannot complete the puzzle of who we are without them.

This is why he concludes "hell is other people".

"Hell is other people" is a great quote by Sartre, but it's not the one I like the most.

Here is my favorite:

"Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth."

Ancient Indian poetry - Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129 (Hymn of Creation) 1200–900 BCE

"Who really knows, and who can swear, How creation came, when and where! Even gods came after creation's day, Who really knows and who can truly say, When and how did creation start? Did He do it? Or did He not? Only He, up there, knows, maybe; Or perhaps, not even He.

No one knows you ( analysis )

A different version of you exists in the minds of everyone who knows you. The person you think of as "yourself" exists only for you, whereas every person you meet, have a relationship with or make eye contact with creates a version of "you" in their minds; thus you aren't the same person to your siblings that you are to your teachers or coworkers. There are thousands of different versions of yourself, but your true self can only ever exist to you. No one knows you.

Unveiling the Illusion: The Matrix through the Lens of Advaita Vedanta

When we look closely at the co-relations and differences between The Matrix film franchise and Advaita Vedanta, there are some truly fascinating revelations that make it clear the film's core foundation is heavily rooted in this ancient philosophy. In my view, the biggest factual co-relation lies in the concept of Maya. Advaita Vedanta teaches that the everyday material world is a relative illusion or 'Mithya' that keeps us from seeing the ultimate reality. In the exact same way, the Matrix operates as a computer program that constructs a fake reality for human minds, keeping them blind to the truth. Neo taking the red pill and breaking free from the simulation is essentially a metaphor for spiritual awakening or Moksha. Just as a seeker moves from the darkness of ignorance toward self-realization with the help of a Guru, Neo understands the truth guided by his Guru, Morpheus. Even the famous scene where a boy tells Neo that "there is no spoon" and that it is only your mind that bends, directly reflects the Mandukya Upanishad's principle that the external world is entirely dependent on our own consciousness and perception. The most definitive proof of this intentional connection appears in the climax of the third film, where the background track "Navras" features a direct choir chanting of the Pavamana Mantra from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad ("Asato Ma Sadgamaya..."), proving that the directors deliberately wove Vedantic concepts into the movie.

However, despite these striking parallels, it is equally important to understand the fundamental differences between the two. The first major distinction is that the Maya shown in the film is entirely technological and physical-a digital software created by machines-whereas in Advaita Vedanta, Maya is not a physical server or simulation but a metaphysical veil of ignorance within the human mind. Furthermore, the very word Advaita means "Non-Duality," implying a state where everything becomes one, and the distinction between the seeker and the creator (Atman and Brahman) completely vanishes upon liberation.
