Overview
Erwin Schrƶdinger, best known for his famous āSchrƶdinger's Catā paradox, is one of the most famous physicists of the early twentieth century and a member of a new generation of quantum physicists, including Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and Niels Bohr. Yet Schrƶdinger's scientific discoveries only scratch the surface of what makes him so fascinating. More rumpled than Einstein, a devotee of eastern religion and philosophy, and infamous for his alternative lifestyle, his major contribution to physicsāand the work for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933āwas to some extent a disappointment to him. Regardless, Schrƶdinger's masterpiece became an important part of the new physics of his time. This book tells the story of Schrƶdinger's surprisingly colorful life during one of the most fertile and creative moments in the history of science.
