We're not actually sure, but we have some wild ideas.
Okay, okay, we know you're here for some deep, complicated explanation of quantum mechanics, but let's be real, it's not that deep. It's like, imagine you have a cat in a box, and the box can be in one of two states: open or closed. Simple, right?
But then, according to some super-smart people, the cat can be in both states at the same time, which is just plain ridiculous. I mean, cats are awesome, but this is just getting out of hand.
But wait, it gets even better! If you observe the cat in the closed state, it becomes in the closed state, but if you don't observe it, it's still in both states. Mind blown, right?
We're no experts, but that just sounds like some kind of crazy cat lady drama.
Why don't you just open the dam box?
