Peter Finnemore gives his comic visual interpretation of the famous paradox elaborated by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 to criticize the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. In his thought experiment, Schrödinger argues that when someone can see a cat either alive or dead, not simultaneously alive and dead: this poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other.
