A 2018 VW Passat GTE. It isn't bad, but it's the only car I've ever owned.
Schrödingers car. It's at the same time the best and worst car you ever owned
That's not really Schrodinger. The car is both as implied by logic, whilst Schrodinger's cat is both due to us being unsure of its state.
On the contrary I would say it is exactly Schrodinger. The actual physical world itself can be in a superposition of states until the point of observation/measurement, and that whole thought experiment is meant to highlight the subsurdity in a vivid but somewhat comical way.
Yes but here is a priori. Is his only car and therefore the best and the worst.
Schrodinger's cat is both because of an intricate assessment of quantum states. I know the cat pulls it into our conceptual world, therefore showcasing the weirdness of quantum physics in a comical way.
But the two cases are not comparable at all imho.
