Emergence - More is Different
Very nice video by Kurzgesagt, explaining Emergence - How stupid things become smart together. I was left with one remark: an ant colony and a body don't have a 'leader', countries, a society has. So .... ..... now I have to think.

Schrodinger's Cat
Schrodinger's Cat explained:
In the hypothetical experiment … a cat is placed in a sealed box along with a radioactive sample, a Geiger counter and a bottle of poison.
If the Geiger counter detects that the radioactive material has decayed, it will trigger the smashing of the bottle of poison and the cat will be killed.
The experiment was designed to illustrate the flaws of the ‘Copenhagen interpretation’ of quantum mechanics, which states that a particle exists in all states at once until observed.
If the Copenhagen interpretation suggests the radioactive material can have simultaneously decayed and not decayed in the sealed environment, then it follows the cat too is both alive and dead until the box is opened.
