Schrodinger didn’t microwave a cat. He came up with a thought experiment Schrödinger’s cat about the bizarre nature of quantum superposition’s. To me one making such a wrong comment in a technical article shows incompetence of author.
I trust he was attempting a little audio humor in light of the fact microwaves had not yet been invented in 1935. That didn’t come along for another 10 years. Maybe the author would have been well advised to write, Schrodinger was the dude who shot the cat, or poisoned the cat or smothered the cat. Say, how could the cat live inside the box with no air? More to the point the cat was alive. It was alive AND dead at the same time. Duh! 😛
