I thought that what they theorized was that the act of observation caused the theoretical existence of all the possible multiple states (in this case just 2), to go away leaving just the one ‘state’ to exist in the universe of the observer.

Or, am I really saying the same thing?

Hmm, probably the same thing : ) But Einstein and Schrodinger did not like the outcome, to say the least. That is why Schrodinger came up with the cat in the box mind experiment to illustrate how ludicrous the Copenhagen Convention was.

So, basically, Einstein and Schrodinger thought the CC was wrong, the CC thought E and S were wrong, and none of them ever had any proof they were right.

No box, No cat, No cesium atoms, No poison.... No proof.

And, even if they conducted the experiment, they could never verify the results.

(what I want to know, is can I get a grant to conduct the same type of ‘experiments’?)

: )

BTW, the experiment could be conducted, but the only one who could ‘know’ the outcome without observing, without opening the box...... would be (fill in the blank).
