Schroedinger's Cat - Quantum Theory
If, in a Quantum experiment, a cat is described mathematically as a "mix" of alive and deadness, how can this math be interpreted objectively? Yes, I concede that in reality, the cat is either alive or dead. But then, why does that math "look" like the cat is both dead and alive at the same time?
