Description
Erwin Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria, to a Catholic father and an Austrian-English Lutheran mother. He received his doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1910 and went on to hold positions at various universities across Europe, the UK, and the US. Schrödinger's unconventional lifestyle, which often involved living with multiple partners, contributed to his frequent moves. However, it was his groundbreaking work in physics that earned him international recognition, including the Nobel Prize in 1933. In addition to his scientific achievements, Schrödinger had a lifelong interest in philosophy and Eastern religion. In "Simply Schrödinger", acclaimed science writer John Gribbin explores the life and work of this singular scientist, delving into his contributions to quantum physics, as well as his fascination with Eastern philosophy.
