     Two very famous scientists who couldn't agree on the answer were  
Einstein and Schroedinger. One day Schroedinger explained his opinion to  Einstein 
by talking about his cat. He suggested that you put a cat in a  box with a 
bottle of poison, and the bottle will open and kill the cat  at some time that you 
don't know. Then at some later time is the cat  dead or alive? Einstein says 
that it is one or the other, but we can't  know which until we open the box. 
Shroedinger says that it is neither -  the cat is a mixture of dead and alive, 
and only becomes one or the  other when we open the  box.
