Schrodinger's Cat Isn'T Both Dead and Alive

Schrodinger’s Cat Isn’t Both Dead and Alive By Elton Camp Physics claimed a particle exists in all states until you see it Dr. Erwin Schrodinger, from such an inane error, did free it In a box is radioactive sample, Geiger Counter, poison, cat If the Geiger Counter sees radioactive decay, what about that? It will then break the poison bottle and the cat thus dies But without such decay, the cat won’t meet its demise Those in error said decay had and had not taken place So the cat is both dead and alive until you see its face Common sense tells us this cannot be true No matter how much speculating you do The cat is either dead or preserved Well before it has been observed The Copenhagen view had a serious flaw And that’s what Schrodinger wisely saw The other physicists thus were bested When by this thought experiment tested (Note: This will be incomprehensible to anyone not already familiar with the subject. A basic knowledge of physics is needed to understand it.)
