Quotes of Erwin Schrödinger - somelinesforyou

“ 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 Schrodinger

“ The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists. ”

- Erwin Schrodinger

“ Bohr's standpoint, that a spacetime description is impossible, I reject a limine. Physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. The aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. All of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. If it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves. ”

“ Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else. ”

“ Plato was the first to envisage the idea of timeless existence and to emphasize it—against reason—as a reality, more [real] than our actual experience… ”

“ I am no friend of probability theory, I have hated it from the first moment when our dear friend Max Born gave it birth. For it could be seen how easy and simple it made everything, in principle, everything ironed and the true problems concealed. Everybody must jump on the bandwagon [Ausweg]. And actually not a year passed before it became an official credo, and it still is. ”

- Erwin Schrodinger

“ I don't like it and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it. ”

- Erwin Schrodinger

“ Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. ”

- Erwin Schrodinger

“ A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement. ”

“ For a solitary animal egoism is a virtue that tends to preserve and improve the species: in any kind of community it becomes a destructive vice. ”

“ The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model. ”
