If I had a box with a bunch of particles in superpositions in it, what would I find if I found the mass of the box?
First: Is it possible to have have box like this? If not what about theoretically.
Second: Does weighing the box collapse the superposition of the particles?
Third: Could I, by weighing the box without particles in it then with superposition particles in it determine the mass of the objects inside without collapsing their states?
Fourth: If no to 3, then how can measuring the box have any effect on the particles in the box?
Fifth: Am I missing something that make this all irrelevant and impossible?
I'm probably missing something here, thanks to anyone who can help me.
