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.

More quotes by Erwin Schrodinger
If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
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
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
The total number of minds in the universe is one.
Erwin Schrodinger
An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.
Erwin Schrodinger
No self is of itself alone. It has a long chain of intellectual ancestors. The I is chained to ancestry by many factors ... This is not mere allegory, but an eternal memory.
Erwin Schrodinger
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence.
Erwin Schrodinger
The organism feeds on negative entropy.
Erwin Schrodinger
No self is of itself alone.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way.
Erwin Schrodinger
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
