In quantum mechanics, Schrodinger's cat is an experiment that illustrates a paradox in quantum superposition. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, the wave function reflects our knowledge of the system. The wave function, such that, dead, plus alive, divided by root 2, cat, means that once the cat is observed, there is a 50% chance it will be dead and a 50% chance it will be alive. First, we place this cat in the box. Hahahaha! I'm there! There we go! Now, there is a mechanism inside the box that will go off at a random point time that will kill the cat. But since we consider simultaneously both dead and alive, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. According to the physicist Erwin Schrodinger, the Copenhagen interpretation applies that the cat remains both dead and alive until the state has been observed. It is dead.
