The beetle in the box thought experiment is the belief that every person has there own 'beetle' in their own 'box.' The box refers to the mind. Therefore Wittgenstein is saying we all have different minds and cannot understand each other. However once the 'beetle' is talked about it becomes a word that categorises all beetles and so therefore everyone's minds are similar. It doesn't matter whats in the box..simply that once talked about it is similar to others.

Is the cat in Schrdinger's thought experiment alive or dead?
In Schrdinger's thought experiment, the cat is considered to be both alive and dead until the box is opened and its state is observed.
What thought experiment did Erwin Schrodinger create?
Erwin Schrödinger created the famous "Schrödinger's Cat" thought experiment to illustrate the paradox of quantum superposition. In this experiment, a cat in a sealed box is both alive and dead at the same time until the box is opened and its state is observed.
Why Galileo's thought experiment about the ball rolling forever on a level surface could only be a thought experiment?
Schrödinger's exp involved a cat placed inside a box w/ a vial of poisonous gas, released when an radioactive atom decays. Awnser by Jake Henderson

What happened to shrodingers cat?
Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox in quantum mechanics. In the scenario, a cat in a sealed box is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the cat's state is observed. The experiment is meant to highlight the concept of superposition and the role of observation in quantum systems.

What steps should you take when performing an experiment that involves poisnous or unpleasant vapors?
Do the work in a ventilated box made for that sort of experiment.
What is the 'Schroedinger's cat' thought experiment?
It is an experiment to highlight how materials behave differently at a sub atomic level, otherwise called 'the measurement problem'. The experiment involves a radioactive material such as Radium, and linking it to a radiation detector which is in turn linked to a vile of cyanide. These items are placed in a large box along with a live domestic cat. The box lid is then shut with the cat inside. The idea is that when the radiation detector senses radiation given off by the Radium it will open the vile of cyanide which will kill the cat. It seems an obvious conclusion... but it isn't.Because of the way sub atomic particles move, it is never know for sure where they are until we measure them. It has been shown that they can be in two places at once. Therefore the radioactive particle, while in the shut box, has both jumped and not jumped into the detector at the same time. Therefore until we open the box to study the fate of the cat, it is both dead andalive at the same time .
What is the significance of the term "corpuscular cat" in the context of quantum physics?
In the context of quantum physics, the term "corpuscular cat" is significant because it refers to a thought experiment known as Schrdinger's cat. This experiment illustrates the concept of superposition, where a cat inside a box is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the cat's state is observed. This highlights the strange and counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until they are measured.
What is the use of radium in Rutherford experiment in the lead box?
Radium was used in Rutherford's experiment to act as a source of alpha particles. The lead box was used to shield the experiment from external sources of radiation interference, allowing for more accurate measurements of the alpha particles' behavior.
What do you get when you cross a lunch box and a school book?
You get food for thought.
Is Schrodinger's cat alive?
Nobody knows! Schrodinger's cat had a 50/50 chance of being dead or alive from the instant it was sealed within the box, and therefore whilst we could not detect the outcome it could be considered both dead and alive (no, not a zombie). It is a thought experiment designed to explain the paradox of uncertainty. No cats were harmed in the process of the thought experiment, though I could always half-kill one to make up for that. Cue the throwing of buckets of blood by PETA members.
