Schrödinger's cat

Explain it to me /sci/, Why is it a stupid thought experiment?

What can be done about the amount of garbage here in /sci/? I know some people will post here saying this thread is garbage, but it might be interesting to have a real discussion about this.

Examples of garbage include:
- Anything about Wildberger, Mochizuki, clock kid, etc.
- Anything about memes (with the exception of when "meme" is being used properly, but even then these discussions are usually dumb)
- Anything ranking university majors
- Anything about grade-school arithmetic (order of operations, etc.)

And then there's the miscellaneous garbage that doesn't fit into any of the above categories. It would be nice if /sci/ were more like physicsforums.com. In a perfect world, /sci/ would be more serious, but at the same time people would more freedom than on physics forums (e.g. use swear words, etc.)

Basically, I think we should just add more rules, and have all threads which don't obey the rules deleted, and the poster should be banned as well. But banning the user might be a little heavy handed.

Molecular oxygen detected on comet 67P, prompting rethink of solar system formation theories.
Popsci faggots are probably too busy masturbating to KIC846285 to see the relevance of this, but for those who do, here are a couple of links about the discovery:

Why are most American scientists totally against superdeterminism, is it because it renders what their great nation stands for null and void?

Excuse my condescension but a true scientist would never believe in random events.

tl;dr Do you guys truely believe in free will?

Sup /sci/
So I have a question for everyone who had some physics related post secondary education.

I'm in grade 12 and honestly don't have a brain for physics (84% in grade 11, probably 86%ish in grade 12) yet I badly would like to be an engineer (civil or mechanical).

I'm aware that about 3/4th the people usually quit at some point through uni, do you think I stand a chance? Share some stories of your own

What's the limit on human potential ?

Let's say we did intense training and selective breeding or somehow knew what 100% of the DNA does. We could end up with guys that can lift a ton or see a bullet coming. But what's the limit really ?
