More quotes by Erwin Schrodinger

Image
Our mind, by virtue of a certain finite, limited capability, is by no means capable of putting a question to Nature that permits a continuous series of answers. The observations, the individual results of measurements, are the answers of Nature to our discontinuous questioning.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
No self is of itself alone.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole... Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon mother earth, with the certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
If we were bees, ants, or Lacedaemonian| warriors, to whom personal fear does not exist and cowardice is the most shameful thing in the world, warring would go on forever. But luckily we are only men — and cowards.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
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.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The plurality that we perceive is only an appearance it is not real. Vedantic philosophy... has sought to clarify it by a number of analogies, one of the most attractive being the many-faceted crystal which, while showing hundreds of little pictures of what is in reality a single existent object, does not really multiply that object.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
We must not wait for things to come, believing that they are decided by irrescindable destiny. If we want it, we must do something about it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The task is not to see what has never been seen before, but to think what has never been thought before about what you see everyday.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The total number of minds in the universe is one.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.

For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now the present is the only thing that has no end.
