Schrödinger's Cat

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in quantum mechanics proposed by physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates the concept of superposition, where a cat inside a sealed box is simultaneously alive and dead until someone opens the box and observes it. This paradox highlights the strange nature of quantum particles, which can exist in multiple states at once until measured. The experiment emphasizes the impact of observation on reality, raising questions about the nature of consciousness and the limits of scientific understanding in the quantum world.
