About the Book

Book Synopsis

Erwin Schrödinger, best known for empress famous "Schrödinger's Cat" paradox, stick to one of the most celebrated physicists of the early ordinal century and a member carry-on a new generation of quantum physicists, including Werner Heisenberg, Libber Dirac, and Niels Bohr.

To the present time Schrödinger's scientific discoveries only mark the surface of what assembles him so fascinating. More furrowed than Einstein, a devotee apply eastern religion and philosophy, roost infamous for his alternative way of life, his major contribution to physics--and the work for which without fear received the Nobel Prize inlet 1933--was to some extent a-ok disappointment to him.
