BOY PHYSICS

‘Physics at the moment is again very muddled; in any case, for me it is too complicated, and I wish I were a film comedian or something of that sort and had never heard anything about physics.’

—WOLFGANG PAULI

‘The more I think about the physical portion of the Schrödinger theory, the more repulsive I find it. What Schrödinger writes about the visualizability of his theory “is probably not quite right”, in other words it’s crap.’

—WERNER HEISENBERG

‘If all this damned quantum jumping were really here to stay, I should be sorry I ever got involved with quantum theory.’

—ERWIN SCHRÖDINGER
