More quotes by Erwin Schrodinger
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
No self is of itself alone.
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
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
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.
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
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
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
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.
Erwin Schrodinger
Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does “life”, but not so mind.
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
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
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
If you cannot - in the long run - tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless.
Erwin Schrodinger
The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
Erwin Schrodinger
If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
The organism feeds on negative entropy.
Erwin Schrodinger
The total number of minds in the universe is one.
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
