I don’t understand..
When we observe it, we can define it’s state right? But it was never in both states. It was only in one, we just didn’t know which one it is. It’s not like if I go back in time and open the box at a different time, that the outcome will be different. It is one of the 2 outcomes, we just don’t know which one until we look. And when we look we discover which one it was, it was never the 2 at the same time. This is what’s been bugging me. Can anyone help explain it? Or am I thinking about it wrong?

I think that the only part you’re missing is that it was an example by Schrodinger to show how absurd the results of quantum mechanics are. It’s supposed to not make sense. How on Earth can it be dead and alive at the same time? **Of course it can’t actually be,** ***and that’s the point.***
