1. (n.) A paradox created by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger which outlines a situation in which a cat in a box, must be for all intents and purposes be simultaneously both dead and alive at the same time. This tests the theory of quantum mechanics by pouring in lethal radiation with the cat. Who knows if it's dead?
2. (n.) A justification for killing cats

Schrödinger's Cat is thought experiment that shows something called superposition, with a box, a cat, some poison (or radiation, or bomb, or whatever, it is just supposed to kill the cat), and a object that could read a particle's spin. Erwin Schrödinger thought that if you put a cat in a box with something that could harm them, and you can't see inside the box, the cat is both dead and alive all at the same time.

A nightmare I had back in the early 2010's.
The big, black Schrödinger's Cat jumped on my head.
I woke up.

Person X: Has the secret/rumour gotten around yet?
Person Y: Dunno, Schrödinger's Cat's in the bag
Person X/Y once rumour has gotten around: Guess Schrödinger's Cat is out the bag now
