Schrodinger's quantum mechanical cat is both dead and alive. Because of quantum theory's indeterminacy factor It cannot be "either dead or alive." Obviously, also it cannot be "neither". "Both alive and dead" state is intriguing indeed. It is said that "the cat" troubled even Schrodinger probably as much as Newton's Third Law of Motion troubled Newton himself. Theory of probability is a savior in this case. For example, we do not know definitely the location of an electron, a quantum particle, revolving around the nucleus; we can only assign a probability. Uncertainty is inherent in quantum theory. If we can write (as a matter of fact we can) the wave equation for the "unfortunate cat" imaginatively put by the 'mad' scientist into life risk, we can only say, for example, that odds that Schrodinger's cat is alive are 3 to 4 i.e., 75%. This should make sense when the world is uncertain and observation itself affects measurements. Even in the macro world, for example, in
research in the area of behavioral science, methods of observation affect measurements.
The bottom line is that when we talk about Obama or any other candidate, we have to use "probably" many times because the media has put us into an uncertain world because they are there to manufacture our consent.
