More quotes by 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
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
I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
Erwin Schrodinger
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.
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
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
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
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
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
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
If a man never contradicts himself, the reason must be that he virtually never says anything at all.
Erwin Schrodinger
No self is of itself alone.
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
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
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.
Erwin Schrodinger
The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
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
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 you cannot - in the long run - tell everyone what you have been doing, your doing has been worthless.
Erwin Schrodinger
