Quantum Superposition

A state of being in two places at once, much like the feeling of having your cake and eating it, too.

Example 1

Consider a cat in a box, but not just any cat, a cat that's simultaneously a cat and a dog.

According to the rules of quantum superposition, this cat is both alive and dead, and also a cat-dog hybrid that's both happy and sad.

But don't worry, it's not like it's actually a real cat in a box.

Example 2

Imagine a coin, but not just any coin, a coin that's both heads and tails at the same time.

Flip it, and you'll see it's both heads and tails, and also a square and a circle.

It's like the ultimate paradox, but don't worry, it's not like it's actually a real coin or anything.
