The phrase has origins preceding the thought experiment by hundreds of years

Yes. And no. The cat thing really has very little to do with radioactivity and a lot to do with quantum electro and chromodynamics, but those go over most people's heads even in fields that focus on them (like mine). It's based on statistical uncertainty and the nature of information in the universe, primarily uncertainty relationships a la Heisenberg and phase space dynamics. And I've probably lost everyone by this point so I'm going to stop.

No. There is no lethal gas. It's always a radioactive isotope. With lethal gas the cat dies in a certain amount of time no matter what, rendering the thought experiment moot.

Haaa.... Time is a variable that is dependent on velocity and acceleration (as well as the shape of space-time and the magnitude of gross force, but that isn't as important). The presence or absence of an observer does nothing to affect. That explanation is a bit wrong. And by a bit I mean completely.

What is your field? I love physics especially Quantum physics with its quantum mechanics field.

Also I am the cat, both dead and alive. Though my favorite thought experiment/paradox of Quantum suicide/immortality.

Also a video to make question everything.
That last thursdayism.
