Explanation

Schrödinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment in quantum mechanics illustrating the concept of superposition. The system exists in multiple states simultaneously until observed/measured, at which point it 'collapses' into one definite state. This is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics.
