place a cat in a box with a vile of poison and a radio-ative source and a monitor. when the monitor detects radioatcivity, it breaks the vile of poison. killing the cat. the copenhagen interpretaion of quantum mechanics implies that after a while the cat is both alive and dead. yet when one looks in the box and finds the cat either alive or dead, not both dead and alive. this poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibilty or another. long winded i know but the brief version is. sometimes in life to find the answer you are looking for you have to open the box. also happy birthday erwin but f#@k being your cat.
