It's about to get more confusing.

If your mind was bending slightly yesterday when we discussed Schrodinger Wavefunction wrap your brain around this. It's called the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment.
The basic idea is you put a cat in a box with a randomly decaying material that may or may not decay and cause a poison to be released which would kill the cat. The experiment states that until you open the box to view the cat it is both Alive and Dead. We have a cat who we have named Bowser, he is hard to describe personality wise, he shows affection by grabbing on with his claws and biting your hand, he never draws blood (well almost never.). We feel that our cat Bowser would have another interpetation which we will call Bowser's Corollary of Schrodingers Cat thought experiment. In Bowser's Corollary the question would become will YOU survive opening the box to see if the cat is alive or dead.
