On Quantum Weirdness
Schrodinger's cat is a thought experiment devised by Erwin Shrodinger as a result of debates with Albert Einstein over the Copenhagen interpretation, which Schrodinger defended and Einstein rejected. This interpretation basically states that if a cat could be isolated (i.e. placed in a box) from external interference, the state of the cat (dead or alive) can only be known as a combination of possible rest states, because determining the actual state of the cat cannot be done without the observer interfering with the experiment (i.e. entangling the cat with the observer).
The state of this cat is "Free".
