RE: [asa] Quantum quackery

I cannot even conceive quantum entanglement of a conscious being with
purely physical entities. Whether cats are conscious beings or not, is a
separate issue.

Conscious beings know they are conscious. But can unconscious beings
know they are unconscious? It seems knowledge only allows for one side

of this by definition.

Do any scientists seriously believe the cat is in a suspended state
until an observer looks? Or was Schroedinger just having fun while
trying to help others understand wave collapse?
