As best that I can understand this the answer is “yes.”

We don't know. But the cat does.

One failing of Schrödinger is that he did not consider that cats have nine lives, so one cat in the box can exist in up to 512 simultaneous states instead of merely 2.

Well, I hope the cat is dead. I hate cats. I kind of liked the idea of putting a cat in a box with a cyanide capsule...

...but I imagine I am of the minority...

Well, since the act of observation changes the outcome, I would have to suppose the cat is in a perpetual state of limbo between the two. The entirety of Quantum Physics is too bizarre for me to have any sustained interest.

Each time I decide to go back to studying the theories, I throw up my hand in disgust, because the whole of it comes across as insanity. I refuse to believe that the God who created the universe could be so malicious in his design.

I’ll stick with classical physics for what happens in the macro world. The relativistic universe of Albert Einstein is acceptable to me - at least it makes sense, and does not give me a migraine!

Does it contain atoms?
