Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment about quantum
physics . Erwin Schrödinger suggested it in 1935, in reaction
to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physicsIn simple terms, Schrödinger stated that if you place a cat
and something that could kill the cat (a radioactive atom )
in a box and sealed it, you would not know if the cat was
dead or alive until you opened the box, so that until the box
was opened, the cat was (in a sense) both “dead and alive”.
This is used to represent how scientific theory works. No
one knows if any scientific theory is right or wrong until said
theory can be tested and proved.
