It's a thought experiment. Here's a VERY brief rundown. Basically a dude puts a cat in a box for x amount of time. It is set up where at a completely random point in that time a poisonous gas can be released in the box and the cat could die or the gas isn't released and the cat survives. Now before the guy opens the box he does not know whether the cat is alive or dead to him the cat is both alive and dead, or in a superposition of states.

I know what Shrodinger's Cat is I just don't know what the actual superpower, quantum manipulation, involves.
-
You can manipulate quantum states.
-
What does that involve?

What? You mean you can isolate singular quarks!!!!!?

Edited by SexyPiranha: 7/20/2013 7:09:38 AMIf I'm not mistaken. It is a fictional super power so it doesn't have to follow the Uncertainty Principle.

What's the Uncertainty Principle? >_>
-
In quantum physics it means you can only make measurements of physical properties of a particle only so precise because there comes a point where even observing something like a quark or electron can cause it's state to change or cause it to change positions etc. Quantum physics is quite a finicky bitch.

Slap that bitch in the tits! She'll learn! ^U^
