    If the cat is still there has the experiment been expanded or has the universe shrunk?


    The destruction of the box results in the experiment becoming a single sided mobius sphear because the observer still observes and the cat also observes. The experiment had been being conducted, therefore, had a beginning and end. The observers of both the inside and outside of the box continued after the destruction of the box, so the observers have created a time loop in remembering that there was a box. This of course takes the form of a sphear or bubble, but there is only a single side because there was one box being observed by two observers. In other words, there was only one box, but the box now only exists in the minds of the observers. Both observers observed that there was only one box, but now there are two boxes, one in each mind of each observer.

    The cat only knew the box from the inside, and the observer on the outside only knew the outside. That is during the experiment. So the one box exists in full in two minds as one box. A little like a hologram... I guess. Therefore, the box or universe is copied over and over from different observations and memories and exists across the whole of all that observes creating a universe both inside and outside of itself.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
