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
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.
Erwin Schrodinger
For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now the present is the only thing that has no end.
Erwin Schrodinger
I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
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
[A living organism] ... feeds upon negative entropy ... Thus the device by which an organism maintains itself stationary at a fairly high level of orderliness (= fairly low level of entropy) really consists in continually sucking orderliness from its environment.
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
Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind.
Erwin Schrodinger
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
The organism feeds on negative entropy.
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
If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory.
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 sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
Erwin Schrodinger
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena.
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
The total number of minds in the universe is one.
Erwin Schrodinger
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space.
Erwin Schrodinger
An animal that embarks on forming states without greatly restricting egoism will perish.
Erwin Schrodinger
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.
Erwin Schrodinger
