Actually, it is that a particle can be anywhere until you fix its position by making a measurement. That's the deal with the alive/dead cat. You don't know which state the cat is in (alive/dead) until you open the box and look. The reason you don't know is because the atomic decay that triggers the release of the poison gas is a completely random event. At least that's the way I remembers it from nearly thirty years ago.:-)
