[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 74740945, member: 241055"] As I understand it, Schrodinger's Cat was intended to point out the ridiculous implications of the Copenhagen interpretation idea of requiring a conscious observer to collapse the wavefunction. It was a jibe at those who suggested the observer decided 'what is' by his/her observation. Clearly, the epistemological version wouldn't be at all controversial - you simply don't know what's happened until you look. It would appear that, in the real world, both would occur - something would collapse the wavefunction at some point so the cat becomes either alive or dead (by the Copenhagen interpretation), and the conscious observer would not know the outcome until he/she looked in the box.
