This is a short bio? ...No, no, nope. I'm gonna drag this out as long as possible. Hey, wait! What are you doing with that cane?! No! Don't drag me off the stage! Please! Gawshdarnit. I'M SUING!

What do you get when you cross ponies with Edwin Schrödinger? Pinkie Pie.
So says Pinkie Pie herself, in an effort to explain her powers to Rainbow Dash along with the help of the local mailpony.

Yeah, you seem to miss that detail.
Schrödinger's Cat was a little bit convoluted.
You take cat, OR filly, put in sealed container. Cat (or filly) was alive when put in container. Also in container went a capsule of poison, and a mechanism to release poison should some event happen. Now, the event happens, and the poison is released. BUT, until you verify that said cat (or filly) is dead, the animal in question exists in infinite possible states of being, or in quantum flux. It is til you open the container, and see the state of the cat (or filly) that it's quantum state is fixed at that moment.
Roughly :P

Thanks for explaining that. Goodness, I have the worst thinking skills. :twilightsheepish:

Um.....
Okay!.......
Science!....
Much wow!!!!

3972041 you forgot the radioactive element in the box as well as the poison. In either way the cat is alive, dead, neither, or both for any indeterminable amount of time. I researched it and I knew eddy

Actually, the radiation wasn't 'THAT" important.
That was the event I mentioned.
It could have been the sun coming up, or Heisenberg being uncertain about where electrons are or some such thing.
The 'original' was that a source of radiation was put in the box, with a device that was set to release poison if the results of radioactive decay was detected. But, the radiation wasn't in there to kill the cat (or Filly).

4118617 good point but I find the double chance and un-chance to increase the tension of the idea
