An Explanation of Waiting for Godot in Quantum Mechanics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

On Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, everyone explains the existence of Godot differently, which makes the superposition of Godot. And from the point of view of quantum mechanics, microscopic particles may be in a superposition state, which means things are always in an uncertain state of “superposition” or “collapse” according to the human consciousness. After introducing the concept of quantum mechanics, the paper uses the Schrodinger's cat, a famous experiment of quantum mechanics, to conduct in-depth exploration.
In the experiment, cats exist in closed boxes, and no one knows whether they have changed or if they have had quantitative changes.
No one knows what's going to happen before the box is opened, and it is uncertain whether there will be changes when the box is opened.
The uncertainty of quantum mechanics affects people's thinking.
Hence the paper attempts to explore Beckett's Waiting for Godot for the uncertainty of the entanglement waiting process by quantum mechanics by analyzing Godot as a stacked-up cat.
