Schrödinger's cat - Wikipedia

I am randomly going to post nerdy concepts that have fascinated me. And keep fascinating me. Even if I don't fully grasp them. And then try and explain them in an easier to understand way.

….a hypothetical cat in a closed box may be considered to be simultaneously both alive and dead while it is unobserved, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. This experiment, viewed this way, is described as a paradox.
