Schrodinger's cat is just plain crazy thinking. It is a mind
experiment. It can only prove that the cat in the box has a 50% chance
of being alive or dead. Schrodinger used a quantum act to trigger the
event that would take place inside the box. (so what?) Until we open
the box only the cat knows if it is alive or dead (hopefully) When
Hawking's was told of Schrodingers cat,it was said he reached for his
gun. As far as the observer is concerned he must make a measurement to
weed out all random states of a quantum system. If Einstein was alive
today he would still be laughing at "Schrodinger's cat mind experiment"
