What if instead of a cat in Schrodinger's thought experiment it was a rather large bomb. Then the bomb would be in a in a superposition of exploding and not exploding at the same time. But then only way to find out if the bomb exploded and killed everyone is to open the box and collapse the wave function.
Which means either A. The bomb always explodes, or B. the bomb will never explode if you don't open the box.

Checkmate Quantum Mechanics.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, checkmate, as if a checkmate with the theory of Quantum Mechanics is even an applicable allegory to the consequences of disproving quantum mechanics. Everyone knows that the Schrodinger's Cat "paradox" would not present itself in an experiment on that is on the scale of the hypothetical Schrodinger's Cat Box, because as soon as a particle with a probability density function that describes an "unknown position or momentum" is observed (affected by any other particle at all), it's wave function collapses and its position, momentum and all other states are definite. The Schrodinger's Cat experiment is not a paradox, it will always resolve in either one way or another.

Checkmate, scientists .
