“Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, I reject a limine. Physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. The aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. All of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. If it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.” IfsThinkingKnowsWorldLifeDoeWholePurposeSpaceKnowledgeImpossibleFailingFailureFitResearchConcernAimActivePhysicsDescriptionRejectsTime And SpaceStandpointOuter WorldsEmpiricismSpace Time Author:Erwin Schrodinger
“I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity.” KnowsWorldGivingHeartRealMatterPainBeautifulReligionOrderInformationSweetRedEternityBlueSilentDelightUglyBitterConsistentReal WorldFactualGhastlyPhysical PainRed And Blue Author:Erwin Schrodinger

“This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear; tat tvam asi, this is you. Or, again, in such words as "I am in the east and the west, I am above and below, I am this entire world."” KnowsMenWorldWholeCertainSimpleExistenceClearPiecesWiseTraditionSacredWestEastThis LifePriestsFormulasHinduismGlancesMysticBrahminsAbove And Below Author:Erwin Schrodinger
