Schrodinger's experiment shows cat in the box to be simultaneously alive and dead. You open box and cat is dead -where did the live cat go?

There must be 2 cats. A cat cannot be dead and alive at the same time.

    The cat is NOT dead, it's very much alive, and is it ever ticked off! Pity the poor fool that has to let "kitty" out of the box . . . . (cats don't like that kind of stuff . . . )

    Maybe they like it and hate it at the same time.

    The cat is both. Its all apart of Quantum Spookiness. You need to do a little research on Quantum Spookiness. Its fun and will enlighten you to the strange world of Quantum physics. ;)

    Well I think quantum mechanics is a fake science perhaps. If the cat could be both dead and alive simultaneously that would mean time is an illusion and does not exist -same thing like you being born, celebrate all your birthdays and then die at the same instant. So if time does not exist then space cannot exist and therefore the universe cannot exist.

    It has nothing to do with time. Quantum Mechanics if very real. We would not have the cell phones we use today if it were not. You need to read a little on the subject. Its very interesting.

    Sounds interesting all right -i'm curious to know how QM is applied in cell phones. 
    I've tried studying QM but it is too difficult for my lazy brain.  I gained a somewhat superficial knowledge enough to imagine some interesting concepts anyway.

    There    dont have to be 2 cats. Thwere was a box with a cat in it, then we closed the box and asked a question: "Is the Cat still alive?" The only consequence there is to that is that we realize that we do no know the answer.

    You can try it yourself, make a cheese sandwish, and put it in a box. close the box, ask yourself: "did it become an egg-salad sandwish?"
    As long as the box stay closed there is no way you can be 100% sure if if has (or hasn't).

    Simple as that

    It was dying and died all the way by the time you opened the box.
