===Many-worlds Interpretation===

The many-worlds interpretation deals with the concept that measuring the system is not a significant act. Instead, both states exist simultaneously, but are decoherent with each other, meaning that there is no communication between them. When the system is observed or measured (the box opened), the observer becomes [[quantum entanglement|entangled]] with the system, and essentially, two new observer states are formed - an observer who discovers a dead cat, and an observer who discovers a living cat. At this point, the [[universe]] "splits" into two branches or separate universes that are unable to communicate with each other.<ref name="Layman"/> <ref>[http://www.higgo.com/quantum]/</ref>
