Gone is the cat who might be dead, or alive but is most definitely both states until observed
Instead we have Anna & Brad as psychic buddies outside the box observing and a physicist with test equipment inside schrodingers box making quantum physics that bit more confusing

Using this theory would mean that no 2 persons realities are the same, if multiverses are real then you could have people experiencing multiple universes at once just they observe different realities at different points in time
It could potentially mean that false memory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory isn't actually false memory but just a persons observation of different but entirely real reality

Schrodinger's cat has gotten several upgrades throughout the years. Hungarian physicist Eugene Wigner proposed a version involving a physicist who lived in the box and had a measuring device for determining one of two options.
And it's this version of the 'box' that Frauchiger and Renner are upgrading. In this version, they have two Wigners doing an experiment on their friend who they keep in the box.
One friend (Anna) tosses a coin and (because she's luckily a physicist) makes a quantum message to send to her friend Brad. Brad (who is also a physicist) can pick up Anna's message and understand the result of the coin toss.
The problems start when the Wigners open their boxes to check on their friends. According to Renner, when they open their boxes, they should conclude with certainty where the coin landed in the toss.
However, their conclusions are inconsistent. “One says, ‘I’m sure it’s tails,’ and the other one says, ‘I’m sure it’s heads,’” Renner told Nature. The pair of Swiss physicists have managed to considerably upset modern physicists in the process of sharing their new deliberations.
“Some get emotional,” Renner said. And different researchers tend to draw different conclusions. “Most people claim that the experiment shows that their interpretation is the only one that is correct.”
