If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory.

The scientist only imposes two things, namely truth and sincerity, imposes them upon himself and upon other scientists.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
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
Image
[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
Image
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.
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
I insist upon the view that 'all is waves'.

The organism feeds on negative entropy.

The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves.
Erwin Schrodinger
Image
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
Image
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
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 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
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
Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does “life”, but not so mind.
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
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 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.
