[TIL] Erwin Schrödinger, Noble Price Winner Physicist had firm belief in Upanishads.

Erwin Schrödinger is considered one of the most important figures in scientific community for his contribution to developing many fundamentals of Quantum Theory. This theory is arguably the most important development in modern Physics. Let's look at one of his quotes:

Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is 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 in the west, I am below and above, I am this whole world'.

Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon Mother Earth, with the certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you. You are as firmly established, as invulnerable as she, indeed a thousand times firmer and more invulnerable. As surely she will engulf you tomorrow, so surely will she bring you forth anew to new striving and suffering. And not merely 'some day': now, today, every day she is bringing you forth, not once but thousands upon thousands of times, just as every day she engulfs you a thousand times over. For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end.”
Taken from his book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1157019.My_View_of_the_World

It's a direct reference to core philosophy of Non-dualism in Upanishads. And term 'Tat tvam asi' is taken directly from one of the Upanishads - https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/chandogya-upanishad-english/d/doc239307.html

Another quote:

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.” References non-dualism view of Vedanta that consciousness is a fundamental reality in itself. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351344275_Advaita_Vedanta_answer_to_the_hard_problem_of_consciousness_A_philosophical_review

Erwin Schrödinger takes his "sick" cat to the vet

The cat had red blood shot eyes, was very aggressive and tried to eat every human on sight, his kids found this to be very upsetting. So Erwin restrained his cat inside a box, and then took him to be examined by a vet.

The vet took some tests (blood pressure, glucose levels, etc...etc..) and concluded that the cat has turned into a Zombie, in this state it its both dead and alive at the same time: the living dead.

#Erwin Schrödinger

Class: Assassin
True Name: Erwin Schrödinger

Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Height: 180cm
Weight: 65kg

Noble Phantasm: B-


#Class Skills

Presence Concealment B+
Hide's one's presence as a Servant. Suitable for spying.
While he was not an assassin in life, his cat-like instincts allow him to perform as if he were. The rank temporarily increases by one on the event of his death.

Territory Creation B-
As a mage, creation of a workshop becomes possible.
However, as he is a scientist first and a mage second its effectiveness is rather dull. A master would take better advantage of it.

Item Construction B
One can create devices tinged with magical energy.
Able to create laboratory tools instantaneously, although magical energy is needed for prolonged usage in combat.

#Personal Skills

Natural Born Genius C
A skill that shows one that has astounding natural knowledge. Save for skills that are burden to the body (such as Divinity) and those that are characteristic of certain heroes, many skills can be practically demonstrated at a proficiency of Rank C~B.
He uses it frequently as a Servant to compensate for his low parameters and combat skills.

Nobel Scientist (Physics) A
The marker of a scientist who was awarded a Nobel prize. A skill that transforms “Fact” that "dictates the rules of the World" into “Mystery” that "skirts around the rules". It converts his famed wave-function equation into a pseudo-teleportation type skill. Whenever he enters Spirit Form he is able to instantaneously appear in any position within a spherical range of five meters. Within the span of half a second, he can disappear from in front of his opponent to behind them for a sneak attack. To the human eye it appears as if he were stopping time, but to a Servant it would be as if they were going three times the speed of sound.
However, this skill cannot be used wastefully without risking excessive mana drain.

Innocent Monster (Feline) D+
Indicates the depth of the distorted truth by means of rumors, without concern for the actual person’s will or appearance.

TIL That while Erwin Schrödinger was writing his 'Schrödinger's Cat' paper crticising the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Theory, his neighbour two doors down was putting the finishing touches to The Hobbit.

Just back from a brief jaunt to Oxford and in my wanderings and researches found that Schrödinger and Tolkien were neighbours from 1934 to 1936. Extraordinary that two geniuses should randomly be living two doors apart at the same time on such an ordinary street.

I wonder if they ever met?

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else. The total number of minds in the universe is one..." - Erwin Schrödinger

“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.

The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings.

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 evidence of this ever happening anywhere in the world.”

- Erwin Schrödinger

Did Olaf Stapledon came up with Many-worlds Interpretation before Erwin Schrödinger?

From wikipedia:

> The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wavefunction collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe.

> In 1952 Erwin Schrödinger gave a lecture in Dublin in which at one point he jocularly warned his audience that what he was about to say might "seem lunatic". He went on to assert that while what the equation that won him a Nobel prize seems to be describing is several different histories, they are "not alternatives but all really happen simultaneously". This is the earliest known reference to many-worlds.

> MWI originated in Everett's Princeton Ph.D. thesis "The Theory of the Universal Wavefunction",[2] developed under his thesis advisor John Archibald Wheeler, a shorter summary of which was published in 1957.

This is from Chapter 15.2 of Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon, published in 1937:

> In one inconceivably complex cosmos, whenever a creature was faced with several possible courses of action, it took them all, thereby creating many distinct temporal dimensions and distinct histories of the cosmos. Since in every evolutionary sequence of the cosmos there were very many creatures, and each was constantly faced with many possible courses, and the combinations of all their courses were innumerable, an infinity of distinct universes exfoliated from every moment of every temporal sequence in this cosmos.

Metafísica, coisa de tolo? Parte I - Erwin Schrödinger

Erwin Schrödinger, físico teórico austríaco, conhecido por suas contribuições à mecânica quântica, especialmente a equação de Schrödinger, pela qual recebeu o Nobel de Física em 1933. Propôs o experimento mental conhecido como o Gato de Schrödinger e participou da 4ª, 5ª, 7ª e 8ª Conferência de Solvay

>"Dez páginas depois, ainda em seu “Mind and Matter”, Schrödinger se torna ainda mais explícito. Ele declara que a doutrina básica dos Upanishads, ou seja, o que ele chama de doutrina da identidade, ou a tese de que mentes supostamente separadas são idênticas umas às outras, e que nossa a mente é idêntica à base absoluta do mundo como um todo, é a única solução credível para o conflito aparente entre o unidade experimentada de consciência e a crença de que está dispersa em muitos corpos vivos. Infelizmente, ele percebe, não podemos simplesmente adotar a doutrina dos Upanishads e deixar de lado o método de Ciência. Ainda que excesso de objetividade “(...) é justamente o ponto onde nosso modo de pensar atual precisa ser corrigido, talvez por um pouco de transfusão de sangue do pensamento oriental ”(...) ainda, devemos esteja ciente do fato de que "Isso não será fácil, devemos ter cuidado com erros graves - As transfusões de sangue sempre precisam de grande precaução para prevenir a coagulação. Não queremos perder a precisão lógica que nosso o pensamento científico alcançou, e isso é incomparável em qualquer lugar qualquer época ”
