Shrodinger's Cat Part 9

Before you open the box, the cat is not both alive and dead at the same time. At any time before you open the box, say at 10 seconds, the cat is either alive or it is dead, not both, and Quantum Mechanics predicts the PROBABILITY that, at 10 seconds, it is alive and the PROBABILITY that it is dead. In an "ensemble" of experiments where you open the box at 10 seconds, the statistical data will (or will not) bear out the probability prediction by the Quantum Theory.

Sure, the mathematical object assigned to the State of the cat before you open the box is a linear combination of aliveness and deadness, but if you think that you HAVE TO interpret this to mean that it is, in fact, both alive and dead, you lack imagination.

Math is a tool, not a weapon.
