Quantum Cat Analytics

I just stumbled onto Quantum Mechanics and I thought it was pretty cool.

Quantum Mechanics, from what I understand, is all about reality and possibilities.  Past, Present, and Future all exist at the same time, and all time exist within the mind and the mind alone.

Now, when I say possibility, I mean the infinite outcomes that life has, and most of these outcomes are in reality at the same time.

A famous experiment that proves this is the Shroeder’s Cat experiment:

Put a cat inside a closed box with a vial of poison.  The poison, which is lethal, is released out of the vial only fifty percent of the time.  This means that the cat inside the box with the vial of poison has a fifty/fifty chance of surviving.

Now, after sufficient time has passed, open the box and see if the cat survived or if the poison killed the cat.  WAIT!  Notice the moment that occurs right before you open the box.  Before opening the box and knowing the fate of the cat, the cat itself still has a fifty/fifty chance of survival, an equal chance between life and death.  This means, for that moment in time before we find out if the cat is alive or dead, in that moment of time both possibilities are real to us.

The cat is as much alive as it is dead.
