What Schrödinger’s cat REALLY means

I feel like it should be made clear that, we conduct the experiments, we see results like the interference pattern, and then we come up with mathematical models to fit what we see. There have been dozens of models (interpretations) people have come up with to explain quantum behavior, but for most of them, either an experiment eventually proves it wrong, or people decide that parts of the model are more complicated than they need to be and there's no way to ever test them (unfalsifiable). After almost 100 years, we haven't found an experiment that contradicts the Copenhagen interpretation. But that doesn't mean we won't. Newtonian physics was truth until relativity came along and showed that it's just an approximation. So best to assume everything is an approximation.

You could almost say that *scientific theories* themselves are always in a superposition of true or false, and doing experiments is how we very slowly "open the box".
