From my recollection of my University days this all started when some guy named Schrodinger put his cat in a box with some poision.

The poison may or may not kill the cat, so if you want to put the poor creature's life in chart form at some point you end up with some simultanously alive and dead feline.

And that, my friends, is how you expain the universe.

Or in more familiar form:

1) Put cat in box. Add poison
2) ???
3) Understand quantum mechanics and universe.
