Did you know smartphones, with the right apps, can turn into physics experiments? Smartphones have accelerometers, barometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, microphones, and light sensors. This fun app can graph out the raw sensor data, and also has a set of physics experiments you can do with it, such as determining the speed of an elevator. I've tried out the graphs of the sensor data and it's fascinating. I haven't tried any of the physics experiments. I just installed the app today. The app was produced by RWTH Aachen University in Aachen, Germany. (RWTH stands for Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule, in case you want to know.)

In short, if you read the article from DerStandard, it sounds to me very much like Schrödinger knew exactly where to draw the line, skirted close but never crossed it.

Very different from how wikipedia summarizes the article.

Wikipedia verlinkt als Quelle obigen Artikel, der wesentliche Differenziertes sagt als die Wikipedia. Das sagt zumindest mal nix gutes über die Artikelqualität der WP 😑 wenn man eine Quelle so "zusammenfasst" und dabei zum gegenteiligen Schluss kommt.

Unabhängig davon sind die Vorwürfe, dazu weiß ich nix 🤷, aber Zweifel dürften mir aktuell noch angebracht sein.

Lesen lohnt sich jedenfalls.

Erwin Schrödinger: Missbrauchstäter oder Rufmordopfer?

Vor kurzem wurden schwere Vorwürfe laut, dass Österreichs wichtigster Physiker des 20. Jahrhunderts minderjährige Frauen missbraucht habe. Eine Recherche

oh. wow.
and also wtf!

Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger#Sexual_abuse
