A hypothetical experiment in quantum mechanics that allegedly proves that a cat can be alive and dead at the same time. This conclusion smack's of Bishop Berkeley's notion that if nobody is in a forest to hear a falling tree, the tree makes no sound.
Schroedinger's Cat is not half alive and half dead. It is either alive or dead, and we have to open the box to find out. If we lose interest and refuse to open the box, the chances of the cat being dead increase greatly with time.

Get the Schroedinger's Cat mug.There was a scientist named Erwin Schrodinger who put a cat in a box and you can not see the cat so the cat is dead and alive for say. This is popular with the show the Big Bang Theory and they use the phrase to describe relationships between the group of friends.
Sheldon: Your relationship with Leonerd is like Schrödinger's Cat.
Penny: What?
Sheldon: Your relationship can be thought of as good and bad to find out you need to open the box.

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?
