“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

“A careful analysis of the process of observation in atomic physics has shown that the subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and the subsequent measurement.” ProcessUnderstoodCarefulPhysicsExperimentsObservationPreparationAnalysisIsolatedEntityParticlesMeasurementInterconnectionSubatomic Particles Author:Erwin Schrodinger

“The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.” YearsFactsHandsAbleClearModelsPhysicsFortyInterpretationQuantumMetaphysicsMetaphysicalPhysicistQuantum Physics Author:Erwin Schrodinger
“From all we have learnt about the structure of living matter, we must be prepared to find it working in a manner that cannot be reduced to the ordinary laws of physics. And that not on the ground that there is any 'new force' or what not, directing the behaviour of the single atoms within a living organism, but because the construction is different from anything we have yet tested in the physical laboratory.” LifeDifferentMatterLawScienceForceBehaviorOrdinaryStructurePreparedPhysicsAtomsConstructionOrganismsBe PreparedTestedLaboratoryLaws Of PhysicsLiving Organisms Author:Erwin Schrodinger
