A cat is placed in a box, together with a radioactive atom.
I don't like where this is going.
If the atom decays, a hammer kills the cat; if the atom doesn't decay, the cat lives.
Which raises one question, what does Schrodinger have against cats?
As the atom is considered to be in either state before the observer opens the box, the cat must thus be considered to be simutaneously dead and alive.
Its a cat-22.
I hope no one out there is trying to to prove this theory!
