Sorry I am late my cat was sitting on me shirt

First of all, let me clear that Schrodinger did not have Sorry I am late my cat was sitting on me shirt any cat on which he was doing some experiments. Basically, it is a case to demonstrate some of the weird explanations of Quantum Mechanics. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device: in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile, no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it.
