| quote = <p>One of the interpretations of quantum theory is that until a state of matter is observed it exists in many states simultaneously - it exists as a "probability wave" that contains all of the possible states of that matter. Therefore, as was proposed in Schrödinger's famous cat analogy, bizarre things happen on the quantum level that would allow things like Schrödinger's cat to be both alive and dead at the same time, until one of the states is observed, thus locking it in the single state that was observed. When this observation occurs, all the other probabilities cease to exist, as the "wave" collapses.</p> | | quote = <p>One of the interpretations of quantum theory is that until a state of matter is observed it exists in many states simultaneously - it exists as a "probability wave" that contains all of the possible states of that matter.
