Schrödinger (shro´dîng-er, shrâ´-, shrœ´-), Erwin
1887-1961
Austrian physicist. He shared a 1933 Nobel Prize for new formulations of the atomic theory.

Schrodinger's Cat

Schrödinger, Erwin

Schrödinger, Erwin (1887-1961), Austrian physicist, born in Vienna, whose work formed much of the basis of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger developed an elegant mathematical description of the discrete standing waves that electrons must follow as they orbit atomic nuclei. He proved that his theory was mathematically equivalent to the slightly earlier work of German physicist Werner Heisenberg. Schrödinger shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in physics with British physicist Paul A. M. Dirac.

ERWIN SCHROEDINGER, "Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is, in a certain sense, the WHOLE; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in the sacred, mystic formula which is yet so simple and so clear: 'Tat Tvam asi' this is you...And not merely 'someday'; now, today, every day she is bringing you forth, not once, but thousands upon thousands of times, just as every day she engulfs you a thousand times over. For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end."

"The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen, but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees." - - Erwin Schrödinger

Before we make an observation, quantum mechanics tells us that reality is 'unformed'... it exists only as a superposition of probabilities. This

truth is popularly known as the "Schrodinger's Cat" paradox. On making an observation, the "

wave function" describing the set of possible states (itself a Fourier sum of all possibilities "collapses" and we're left with a single, observed state. This collapse is very mysterious, since it involves so-called 'hidden variables' involved with the non-local nature of

reality. Some people have suggested 'consciousness' and 'will' as elements playing crucial roles in determining the outcome of an observation.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Erwin Shrodinger: Until you actually observe the chicken, it exists in a superposition of both crossed and uncrossed states.
