Answer to Schrödinger’s cat

I didn’t understand the question. This is sometimes defined as a paradox because it contradicts intuition. But there is no real paradox here. It is possible that the cat is indeed in a superposition.
It is also clear that this superposition cannot be measured because when measured the cat will be in a classical state (alive or dead). This is not like the two-slit experiment where the superposition can be measured. I argued this in my comment after the third session at the Free Will Conference.
