... or is this another interpretation of Quantum Uncertainty??
Hi there!
I'm reading a book by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku about the scientific properties governing wild-ass speculation of ridiculous theories such as Teleportation, Time-Travel, Invisibility, and Psychokinesis.
In the chapter on Teleportation, Kaku-san mentions the truly awesome Erwin Schrödinger*. I've always liked Erwin, despite his careless destruction of hypothetical half-cats. But today I read this little tidbit:
Historians of science have spent some effort trying to track down precisely what Schrödinger was doing when he discovered his celebrated equation that forever changed the landscape of modern physics and chemistry. Apparently, Schrödinger was a believer in free love and would often be accompanied on vacation by his mistresses and his wife. He even kept a detailed diary account of all his numerous lovers, with elaborate codes concerning each encounter. Historians now believe that he was in the Villa Herwig in the Alps with one of his girlfriends the weekend that he discovered his equation.
I like the guy even more already. Theoretical physicists get all the chicks, man! :D
* To those of you still working on yesterday's New York Times Crossword Puzzle, that was the answer for one of the clues.
