Meandering in theory . . .

Today is the birthday of Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (August 12, 1887 – January 4, 1961), physicist. He was a pioneer of quantum mechanics and winner of the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics. He is best known for his proposal of the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment.

"The isolated knowledge obtained by a group of specialists in a narrow field has in itself no value whatsoever, but only in its synthesis with all the rest of knowledge and only inasmuch as it really contributes in this synthesis toward answering the demand, Who are we?" - Erwin Schrödinger

"Consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us ever experienced more than one consciousness, but there is also no trace of circumstantial evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world. If I say that there cannot be more than one consciousness in the same mind, this seems a blunt tautology — we are quite unable to imagine the contrary..." - Erwin Schrödinger

"Multiplicity is only apparent, in truth, there is only one mind..." - Erwin Schrödinger


"We do not belong to this material world that science constructs for us. We are not in it; we are outside. We are only spectators." - Erwin Schrödinger

"Inconceiveable as it seems to ordinary reason, you — and all other conscious beings as such — are all in all." - Erwin Schrödinger

"The plurality that we perceive is only an appearance; it is not real." - Erwin Schrödinger
