Catching Schroedinger's Cat
Scientists recently saw a single atom sitting in two different places at the same time. If you think that sounds bizarre, tune in to Science Friday for an update on the weird and wonderful world of quantum physics-- where the way things are depends on how you look at them. In this hour: quarks, condensates, and of course, Schroedinger's cat.
