And prove it please, don’t just say alive because you like cats 🐈

Both, as long as you don’t open the box

There also isn’t an accurate answer

Who is Schrödinger?

Schoro's cat was impaled on a fence on July 4 1776.  R.I.P.

Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger, sometimes written as Erwin Schrodinger or Erwin Schroedinger, was a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in quantum theory: the Schrödinger equation provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time.

Whoa now who was Schrödinger's cat? Cat got noble prize too?

The best answer is that it is an indetermination. 

It is not a fact, but a hypothesis over two states.

My knowledge about Quantum Physics is limited. I got this from Wikipedia.




Schrödinger's cat:
a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box.
If an internal monitor (e.g. Geiger counter) detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison, which kills the cat.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead, not both alive and dead.


This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

 

There are also people that say that Schrodinger was wrong.
Others  say that don't know about the cat, but that Schrodinger is dead.
This seems to be a joke.

"Schrodinger is smart" who on earth puts a cat in a box with poison

That's just asking it to come after you with poison

The Truth is : Nobody knows and the last time I looked Nobody was dead.

I still don't get it, how can it be both just because you don't see it, it is either one or the other.

It’s theoretical it’s both until you look in the box, it’s an example quantum superposition, where an electron is both a wave and a particle until it is measured. This also how quantum computers works, the particle is either negative or positive (0 or 1 in computer binary terms ) in a normal computer it is either 1 or 0, but In a quantum computer it’s both until it forced to decide, which we can manipulate to make it what we want, so instead of configuring the 1 and 0s to create and store the desired information, with quantum computing, you can just instantly create the information instead of having to create and retrieve and send, and store the info you can just create it, which will make computer storages in quantum computers a huge amount higher, because you wouldn’t have to save as much physical data because it can just create the info on the spot instead of having to store and retrieve it, it’s much more complicated than that, but that’s the simplest way of describing it.

It didn’t actually happen the guy just thought about it it’s confusing I know, you won’t fully understand it not matter how hard you try because it’s not really a concept tangible by our rational or thinking
