Story summary

In 1935, Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment raised profound questions in quantum mechanics. Now, researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona suggest that the many-worlds theory may clarify why Schrödinger's cat seems to exist in one state when observed. Their intriguing findings propose that universal interactions suppress uncertain states, yet the complexities of general relativity still linger unresolved.
