I was reading a book about seeming paradoxes in physics. The author had a chapter devoted to the cat. What I had pondered before was the the decaying atom to set off the trigger? Why not just a plain old clock?
In this book the author explained it in a way so that it dawned on me that at the quantum level we have a handle on how things work, but where does all of that tie into the macro level? So by connecting the quantum level trigger to the macro level cat, we are tying to quantum level to the macro level. I regular clock would make no sense.
Ahhh...
Made me feel dumb, of course. Not the first time. Hopefully not the last.
