Schoedinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment which places a cat

(always a cat) into a locked

box with a poison capsule attached to a

radioactive 'trigger'. The trigger had a 50/50 chance of

going off in any given minute. After one minute

(Schroedinger asked), is the cat alive or dead?

The answer is that it is both. That until the cat

is observed, its state does not exist as either one or

the other, but as a superposition of both.
