    I absolutely love this channel, I genuinely don't understand why you don't get more views, these videos are fascinating.

      There's not enough awareness I don't think. One of the very finest channels

    "He was invited [to Ireland] by Eamon de Valera a noted Mathmetician and also a noted Irish politician."
    Referring to de Valera as simply a "noted Irish politician" is the understatement of the century.

  • @Locut0s
    @Locut0s Před 2 lety +15

    He’s both a member and not a member at he same time. It’s only when you open one of the boxes that the fact of his membership collapses into one of the two definite states.

    He is buried in Alpbach, been there for wintersport. Visited his modest grave at the church, but it sticks out since it was the only one with the psi wave function symbol on it.

    • @jamesedmonds7519
      @jamesedmonds7519 Před rokem

      Does it mention that he abused little girls on it or did they miss that?
      His contributions to science are great but I cannot idolise such a despicable man.

    Ironic that Schrödinger, the man that conceived of being in two states, has his RS membership suspended because of two states: Austria and Ireland.

    • @advanceringnewholder
      @advanceringnewholder Před 2 lety +5

      Which one is my country? IDK, Austria, Ireland who knows, maybe a little bit of both until observed?
