A simple question.

Imagine there is a box that can fit a cat inside. Now, is the cat dead or alive?

Also: to those who know about Team Rocket -- onii-chan thought of an interesting theory about it. We can't prove if it's true or not, though. A Devil's Proof.

You didn't mention that a cat was inside, only that it was large enough to fit one.

There is no cat.

It's a possible answer, if I opened the box.

You did not mention a cat at all. Only that the box is big enough to fit one. I do not even know if it is opened or closed. You cannot call something a simple question, or even a question at all, if you have not provided all the information necessary. Like the existence of athe cat.

However, if you are referencing Schrodinger's Cat, it is both dead and not dead at the same time.

I suppose so. -- And yes, I was referencing Schrödinger's cat.

It's very important to include all the necessary information about an experiment when asking for a hypothesis.

I believe it's important too. There seems to be a lot of intelligent people here, it seems.
