Schroedinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment. Take a box, in it put a mechanism that either will, or will not, release poison gas depending on whether a radioactive particle decays. In the box, put a cat. Close the box, so you can no longer tell what's happening inside. Wait until there is a 50% chance that the radioactive particle decays. Now: is the cat alive, or dead? According to Schroedinger's understanding, the answer is, the cat is neither alive or dead until you open the box to look; until you look, the cat's aliveness is a probability, once you open the box, it is an absolute. Opening the box "collapses the probability waveform" and makes the cat become either alive or dead. This is used as an analogy for the way physicists think about quantum theory and its probabilistic behavior.
Note: no cats were actually harmed in this experiment.
