Schrodinger's Cat, according to The Complete Idiots Guide to Theories of The Universe, Is essentially an experiment which states that a cat that is in a box with a vial of poison, is both dead and alive, because we don't know whether or not it IS living unless we look into the box. In this scenario we wouldn't be looking into the box.
It's used as an example for wave particle duality, and I personally think it's a bad example and shouldn't be referenced.
Here's my reasoning:
According to SC (abbreviated for ease) we do NOT know whether or not the cat is alive. But according to WPD (wave particle duality) we DO know that light is both a wave and a particle at the same time.
Shouldn't there be a better example for this?
