You take an atom radioactive isotope and put it in a box, after however much time is its half life it has either decayed or not decayed with 50:50 probability.
Quantum mechanics approaches use these two eigenstates, and schrodinger argues that assuming superposition reflects reality is absurd. That it’s either decayed or not, that superposition is not fundamental to the world.
This is a difference of opinion between the COPEnhagen interpretation and other interpretations such as bohmian mechanics.
Schrodinger made up the cat analogy to show how retarded the superposition is reality argument is.
Then popsci made the cat famous, and now we have pseudo intellectuals who love jerking off about their popsci bullshit
