SCHRODINGER'S CONTENT AND THE FILM YOU CAN'T SEE FOR 100 YEARS
Robert Rodriguez and Jon Malkovitch have made a movie for Louis XII cognac. The luxury Brand takes a hundred years to make. The storyline, written by Malkovich foresees 3 different timelines to 3 alternate versions of the future. Trailers will be released but the Film, .mov or however it exists will be sealed in a time capsule, and not be shown until 2115.
Or will it?
Schrodingers cat, the famous thought experiment describing quantum mechanics, sees a cat sealed in a box with a vial of poison a radioactive source and a detector. When a particle is emitted, the detector triggers the poison to be released and kills the cat. Stay with me. As the box is sealed we don't know whether the cat is a live or dead, we just know the probability of the particle being emitted and hence the probability of the cat being alive. It's not until we open the box that we know whether its dead or not, changing a probable outcome into a certainty.
So back to the Rodriguez Malkovitch Movie, sitting in it's hermetically sealed and attractively engraved vault for a century. Quantum theory says the film could both exist in there or not exist in there? Another theory may say only the trailers exist and the rest? well the rest might just be a story.
Pass the brandy. R
