Imagine yourself a feline creature. You are unceremeniously dumped into this lead box. A radioisotope, a scintillation counter and a canister of chlorine gas is already in the box. You hear that the radioisotope will decay after an unknown length of time, emmitting a particle of ionising radiation. The scintillation counter will detect this and release the chlorine gas. You die in the process.
Now imagine some guy says that you are both dead and alive at the same time in the box, until somebody opens the box and collapses the wave function. Welcome.. to Schrodinger's cat. Welcome to quantum physics Somebody said that at 11:59 PM - x - - x -
