Someone help me with this theory...!

OK, so i'm no expert on the above and i apologise if this is in any way non-sensical and difficult to follow, however Simons little speech about the tiny little cat and the poison sardine got me thinking... (bear with me...)

Perhaps the experiment is to do with quantum physics and how people react to "knowing" whats going to happen.

Basically, if you do not know what is happening inside the box, then you won't see the end result untill you look inside your hands.

So maybe hes trying to see whether knowing the outcome of a series of events affects the things that happen that lead up to it... i.e if you know the cat is going to be dead at the end of it (or indeed if the cat knows its going to be dead) then its easy to assume the series of events that lead up to that moment and make it happen.

So on a larger scale...

There are an infinite number of possibilities/futures that could happen,
People now "know" whats going to happen to them in the future, (i.e they've seen one possible future) and try as some may, they cannot help but link things back to what they've seen and therefore subconciously lead themselves to that conclusion. Whereas if they hadn't been subjected to those visions, any number of things could happen.

(I'd appreciate at this point if someone with a loose understanding of this post and a better way with words could translate and help me expand on this idea...)

Can you make a specific future happen by giving everyone in the world a glimpse of what they would need to do in order for your own personal future to come true.

One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.
It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.[2]

i believe this is the theroy that simon/charlie was explaining. Schrodingers cat. perhaps it is a test to see what the outcome will be, but i think there is something darker behind the reasons. not sure if it will be a military thing or a group of scietists to further thier own goals, but i really hope it is more than just a "test" to see what would happen if we knew the future.

I think this why we always here Ben and other people saying I don't want you to do ___________, I want you to want to do __________. This why Jacob says they have choices, and I think that means if they believe they a certain situation, then that situation can manifest itself.

Quantum Mechanics, the Many Worlds Theory, etc. are all part of the show I think. In fact, I think the whole show is just one Schrödinger's Cat test after another.
