GiddYup - sounds like your alluding to Schrödinger's cat re the strange nature of quantum entanglement - one of the most celebrated paradoxes in quantum theory.

Actually Cos and Schrödinger's cat have a lot in common i.e. the argument between the deterministic nature of physics (binary) versus probability outcomes (quantum uncertainty).
