In reply to jimjimmy123. The problem I have with this theory is that the eyeballs of the cat are a passive sensor. It puts out no active energy, only absorbs it. How can it collapse a wave function if it isn't putting any energy into the system to measure it?

No one realises that the cat ITSELF is the observer of what happened and is the reason for the waveform collapse?

In reply to Joel.

That was a great explanation. But at the end, wouldn’t you rather say:

If you apply this idea to Schroedinger’s cat, you can say that the cat is made up of many non-point particles, all of which add up into a non-point cat.

The problem of “did the radioactive particle decay or not” still remains, though.
