Cakes, Pickles and Schrodinger's Cat

For those who don't know- Schrodinger's Cat is a quantum Physics principle (Theoretical, never actually carried out) which went like this: A cat is placed in a box that is separated from the outside world. A Geiger counter and a little bit of a radioactive element are also in the box. Within some time, say one hour, one of the atoms of the radioactive material may decay (or break down because the material is not stable), or it may not. The Geiger counter can measure that. If the material breaks down, it will release poison gas, which will kill the cat. However, we do not know that the cat is most certainly dead because that would mean we would have to open the box and that would be tampering with the experiment.Schrödinger says that as long as the box is closed, the cat is dead and alive. There is no way to know until the box is opened.

This principle...makes more sense to me than the cake saying or the pickle saying
